I am curious about the frequency with which diamonds crack or chip during setting and routine tightening. Is it "common" for a diamond to be damaged during these processes? Is it more common during initial setting than when prongs are tighened after wear?
Finally, how would you know if your diamond were damaged beneath the prong without having the stone removed and examined? Would anything be visible to the naked eye?
Thanks for your expert insights!
