 		does the difference in polish from ideal/excellent/very good remain after a diamond is set and worn for a period of time? i imagine that polish grain lines remain but was curious if daily use drops an excellent finish diamond down to a "lower level" with normal every day wear and tear?
thanks

 		I think it can depend.  I know when some diamonds are traded in, after inspection sometimes repolishing is needed at a minimal cost, however I think with normal careful daily wear most diamond's polish holds up well for years.  Maybe one of the experts can chime in?









Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be...

I doubt that the ex-id polish stays that way much.

Color doesn't change. Clarity does - small chips can lower the clarity grade and it is common to see that on older pieces.  There have been a couple of such cases posted. And it doesn't need to be a thousand years of wear either.
