Gez, you guys missed the point entirely! The guy said she wore the ring for
2 months before the diamond fell out. Then after he got it fix, he said it
still didn't look "right" so she was reluctant to wear it [all the time] so
only wore it a few times (maybe 3 times) within a 2 week period. He said
the diamond was still secure after it was fixed... but he thinks there is
still something wrong with the ring.

Maybe the point you guys should be discussing is the fact that the diamond
fell out after wearing it for 2 months. Sounds to me like it wasn't set
right to begin with but then again, I am not a jeweler or a metalsmith so I
wouldn't know. But I do know that I would begin to suspect shoddy
workmanship if the stone fell out of a new ring after wearing it only 2
months.

Let the dude post his pictures and then make your judgments.

It is nothing personal with the OP. And I have no real doubt that this is
true. However nearly any customer who came to my store and workshop in the
last nearly thirty years and had some complaints, told me that he or his
wife
had word the ring three times. Some rings were totally worn down an had
hundreds of scratches within years, some have been worn only some months.
Is the number "three times worn" some holy mystery which I don´t know?
No one told me it was worn two times or four times, always three times.

Heinrich. Yes. It is a "holy mystery". The number three is used by drunk
drivers in the USA when the policeman asks how many drinks he/she has had.
Three beers, three drinks, three, three, three. It is used by people needing
appliances repaired, " I tried THREE times to make the thing work", the
technician then plugs the appliance into the mains outlet. Three is a
magical number. I could give more examples but I think this is enough.
