Damaging a ring?

Well can this damage a diamond cluster ring which is in the box at the time?

The band looks a bit bent at the bottom. Would the bottom of the box affect the ring or would it just be the lid part?

Brian Knox Cut Rock Total Posts: 337 Last Post: 2/5/2005 Member Since: 3/26/2004	Hi again, The only scenario I can imagine a box causing the damage you described would be: If the ring was too tall for the box and "bottomed out" if closed forcibly , hitting the metal bottom or top. More likely , the chip was already there. Brian Knox
