Thank you to everybody for your valuable insights to all of my questions. I'm wondering, what is the proper procedure that both I and the jeweler should take in setting a stone? Do most jewelers have a form that we fill out stating the condition of the diamond so that if a chip or anything occurs after the setting, that I'm protected? Will they note the size, clarity, and plot inclusions of the diamond so that both parties are protected? Please let me know of all of your experiences, both good and bad, and any warnings signs of a bad jeweler that I should heed. Thanks!

Make sure it is insured!

Firstly get to know your diamond yourself, get a 10 x loupe and use it to get familiar with any inclusions etc. Also check very carefully that the jeweller will make you whole if anything happens to the diamond while he is setting it, very often you do this at your own risk. If you bought the diamond from the jeweller, often they will take the risk, but check and get everything in writing. Also you mention ' if a chip occurs after setting that I am protected' this is the domain of your insurance company which you should have, often they won't cover a loose stone while anything is being done to it ( setting) so again you need to check. Now to put this in perspective damage while setting is rare, especially with rounds, but it does happen. A good jeweller should be happy to go through the process and your stone with you and note any inclusions etc. Get everything in writing also, otherwise it boils down to - he says- she says and this can get messy. Ask your insurance company or see if you can find one which insures loose diamonds, and that will cover you while setting if you can.
 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... - Stephanie M Thorn |
