Hello Jewelry Community~
I wanted it out there that I bought a ceritified 1.34 princess F color, internally flawless diamond from Tony the owner of Antoine''s Jewelers at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show and when I took it to my jeweler it turned out to be chipped. You can only see the chip under a 60 X microscope and the stone was sold to me a brand new. I took it to two jeweler''s who both verified that this happened either when setting or pulling the stone, that a chip of this sort could not happen at any other time, basically I didn''t do it.
I took the stone to Nancy Stacy who everyone loves and she verified the same thing and wrote a lovely report on the problem. So it either has to be recut or polished out, losing an easy 20pts and taking away from the fire and the value of the stone. Tony refuses to return the stone, and this all happened within 6 days, and blames the problem on me. He claimed the stone was brand new and it is impossible that this could happen to a new stone.
I know the people who are on this page know their stuff, but this is a heads up. I was pretty well educated on the stuff to begin with, but unfortunately I hadn''t found this web page.
