I have a 7x5 oval garnet ring that I have had since I was 11. it was set where the ends hang off the setting. Well somewhere in college I managed to lightly chip the edge and I''m not sure what to do. Also I have looked for a stone to replace it and I cannot find a stone as red as this one is. I mean this is really really red. The mozambique garnets that I have seen that they say are the redest aren''t anywhere near as red as this ston. Also, the pavillion is so large that it barley fits in the setting. and the top flat part is smaller than normal. its like the top half of the stone is as big as the pavillion with just a small part flattened. I started wondering if maybe it was an old cut stone that was put in a newer setting when my mom bought it for me. So anyway I don''t want to get rid of the stone. Can the little chip be buffed or something to make it less obvious?
thanks for any suggestions.
