When an OEC has little chips in the girdle, is it still safe to set it in a six prong setting? Is it common for OEC's to have little chips in the girdle? Are they largely ignored and set anyway? How concerning are chips and should they be polished?
My current OEC does not have any chips in the girdle, but the appraiser said he didn't think it was ever worn. I am currently shopping for a larger, warmer OEC, but I keep seeing nibbles in the girdle and I don't know if I should reject stones because of this.
