Wards have the pics come up when you click on the individual item now rather than the list- not all stones have a photo yet but a lot do.
Its easy to get a trade account BTW Pat, you shouldn't have any problems.

Re the original post, as has been said its possible you are wearing the ring inappropriately?
If you are tough on your hands then pretty much nothing other than flush set diamonds will last forever and Ive even managed to lose one of those out of my wedding ring although it did last 9 years.
Most rings with stones are meant to be worn gently not for doing rough work.
