I never like to hear of problems with jewelry work or even of problems the jeweler might have from customers who have no clue as to what is going on. Good communications is the general solution for either. In your case, first appearances tell me the jeweler may have done less than the best. Then again, I am not there and only working in my thoughts with the words you have sent. Refreshing it is to have questions with enough information to actually work on a viable answer.

I am curious about the prong setting being bent. Unless the ring has a prong setting made originally as part of the ring, not soldered into the ring band but cast with the entire ring, and the ring had to be resized several sizes smaller, there should be no problem with the setting at all. Once in a while with a “made in place setting” when a ring goes down more than 2 sizes the setting can spread apart and the jeweler will have to retighten the stone.
