divergrrl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,149 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 12/9/2002	Hi...I'm an old poster...from like 3 years ago! gasp! I have a 1.13 carat princess cut that has a crack or a chip on the side. It's been worrying me, but I finally got around to calling my insurance agent to see if damage is covered in my jewelry policy (I have a separate schedule for all my jewelry on my homeowners policy--so yes, its covered). So I'm going to take it to my appriaser to be sure it needs to be replaced, and even if it doesn't...I'm thinking a bezel set might be a safer bet, since I've been reading on here and it seems the princesses are prone to cracking more than other stones? Ugh. How depressing, I just looooove square diamonds! wah!!! Why is this true? And if I wind up having to replace my stone, what should I look for to prevent that from happening again? Anyway this is the ring I saw that I like..its a Chris Correia design....what do y'all think? Special shout out to Mara....remember me? Jeannine Divergrrl *************************** Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got.... :-P

Jeannine Hi Jeannie - do some searches on princess cut chipping and girdle thickness / durability etc. There are many helpful threads. But at leats medium to slightly thick girdle Ask to have the tips polished off.
