Impact on the diamond after multiple resettings

drako Rough Rock Total Posts: 1 Last Post: 4/17/2007 Member Since: 4/17/2007	I was wondering about the impact (negative or otherwise) on the diamond if it is reseted more than once? Would resetting the diamond increase the risk of chipping, cracking, etc.?

What also happens sometimes is that it was chipped when it was first set and opening the prongs reveals it. ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K

As Storm points out, there is a small risk of damage each time someone works on it but each time the risk will be entirely about the job at hand. If you are pulling and resetting it into the same mounting however, there are some metal fatigue type problems that can happen to the prongs.
