Hi Everyone,
I''m a long-time lurker and a first-time poster hoping for some advice
.
My mother recently gave me an absolutely beautiful OEC that has been in the family for years. My boyfriend and I are planning to have it set in an e-ring.
I had the stone appraised recently and it''s 1.32 carats, G color, with SI1 clarity due to the fact that the girdle is slightly chipped (I''m told that otherwise it would likely be a VS1).
I love the antique cut and have no interest in doing a total re-cut. But, I''d like to talk to someone about the possibility of polishing or otherwise repairing the chipped girdle. Because it''s a loose stone and uninsured, I''m wary about sending it to anyone who is not local.
I''m wondering if anyone could recommend someone I should speak to in the Los Angeles area about a possible repair? Thank you so much for your help!
