Hello, as a child, my fiance inherited about a 2ct diamond ring set in platinum. It has been in his family for over 6 generations! However, the diamond is badly chipped. It chipped before it was given to him, so it was not insured. We haven''t taken it to Hardy & Hayes in Pittsburgh yet for their opinions; however, other local jewelers suggest re-cutting the diamond. It would then be about 1 ct & would be too small for the antique setting. Does anyone have expert advise about what I should do? I hate to have it re-cut as I would love to wear the ring exactly as his grandmother did. Is there such thing as filling the chip? I''m getting as much info as I can before we do anything irreversible. I welcome any advise.
