I bought htis sapphire from NSC. I really loved it it's a unique little bicolored heart. I had it shipped to a jeweler to put in a pendant. I looked at it under my magnifying glass when It came in and I noticed this. It looks like a pretty clear chip? It's not visible to the naked eye unless you know its there really and its right next to an edge where it had been cut (sorry dont know the proper term). IDK if any of you here who know a lot about gemstones can say is this something that likely got this way during cutting? I cant imagine this happened during setting. Will it weaken the stone?
I didnt mark up the pictures but I think you will find it. I want to ask the jewler about it but I also dont want to come off as accusatory, esp if it seems more likely it happens in cutting? I had it in my jewelry box and travel case and noticed it hte first night it came in (I've not worn it). I dont really have many diamonds my other stones are rubies and sapphires (all set in rings) so I cant imagine they would have caused this? None of my other stones are abraised in any way.
