I just got my engagement ring a month ago - it was custom-made and we were told that the diamond was of great quality. The diamond was appraised for 9K and it is insured. I believe it''s either IF or VVS1. Today my diamond chipped - it''s extremely noticable, like a crack on the side - a huge piece is missing. I was so confused - I thought diamonds don''t chip and the thought that it might be fake terrified me. I''ve been searching on the web and found out that it happens, but many specialists say that it happens very rarely and those are diamonds of bad quality. Is that normal that a good diamond chips? I know I can get the money out of the insurance company, but I wonder if my jeweler appraised the diamond properly. I have no trust in him. Plus the insurance rates will go up and they are already extremely high. What are my chances to replace this stone through the jeweler? Should he take the responsibility?
Thank you.
