Totally gone. The stone inclusions look to be right, the cut is right, everything looks right, but it's GONE. I am 99.9% sure it's my stone, so that's not really my concern, but the fact that my inscription is gone is really bothersome. I knew it was not easily visible when we got the last setting back, but I hoped it was under a prong. Two jewelers have inspected this under high magnification (one used 100x) and the latter with the highest magnification said they saw something that might have been an inscription but it was so hardly visible that they weren't sure. HOW would slash could this be removed from a diamond!? I don't get it.
I am awaiting word from Jon at GOG on getting this inscription redone since it's loose now.
800+ views and so few posts?!
Curious. Were they looking with loupes, or under a gemological microscope?
It is entirely possible for the ink that is in the inscription to have been removed during cleaning or polishing, but even so, the inscription should be visible under a microscope. The only way to completely remove it would be on a diamond polishing wheel, so that would have to be intentional.
I am guessing that it is still there and can be seen under a well focused microscope.
