Hi All,
I look at my diamond with a loupe all the time looking and learning and just obsessing to be honest. It's XXX strong blue VVS2 a cloud and pinpoints. The color of my diamond has very metallic look to me what is that? I'm talking about in person not the black and white photo below.
So one day I hit my diamond ring on a solid flat metal piece sticking out of my husbands project car. I go inside to look at my diamond with the loupe and I couldn't see into my diamond anymore what I could see was a weird reflecting pattern that I could not see through, that was not the star pattern I'm used to. I can't really see through the table anymore.
So I send it in to the online retailer I bought it from to have it looked at (with approval from my insurance company) and they have their gemologist look at it mounted telling me it's not necessary to remove it and that they see nothing wrong. They send me a picture they say is from a microscope, why can't I see inside I still see weirdness. They plan on remounting it, but wouldn't look at it loose. The jeweler is not the gemologist he is only setting it even though he is part of the same company different department.
What would cause this weird reflective pattern I see? Why is insurance satisfied with them not removing it, but is ok with them resetting, but never looking at it loose? Me the jeweler and insurance were all in contact via cc emails.
Here is the microscope picture they sent me. What do you guys see? This picture looks like a lousy picture to me one that can determine nothing based on the picture. I do not have the ring back yet. I wanted to see if the resetting fixed what I was seeing. If not I'm going to hate this more. I saw the GIA has a $200 diamond damage check service. Would the jeweler notice something wonky with the stone?
Thanks, you guys
