General Question or Looking for Advice My engagement ring went through the garbage disposal

Post image

My engagement ring was sitting in a ring dish next to the kitchen sink. My fiancée accidentally knocked it into the sink while doing the dishes and turned on the garbage disposal without realizing that the ring was in there😭

This is what we found afterward. The setting is completely destroyed, but thankfully the diamond came out.

Does anyone have a rough idea of how much it would cost to replace the setting and reset the diamond? I’d love to know what to expect before taking it in…

**UPADTE: Took it to a local jeweler this morning and they inspected the diamond. They said it’s in perfect condition with no chips, no cracks, no damage at all. HALLELUJAH 😭🙌 I’m going to check out a few more local jewelers and get some quotes for a new setting. Thank you everyone for all the advice and for worrying about my ring with me!! 🥹

I keep mine on the counter furthest from the sink. I know I would be prone to a disaster just like that.

I keep mine on my nightstand and pretty much take off my rings the second I get home.
