OK - he's the deal. I noticed there's a good sized ding in one of the 1 CTW sapphires on my 3-stone. UGH!!!!!! You cant see it from the top down, or probably even at ALL, but now I know it's there. I emailed Jerry Newman, and from the description he's not sure it can be fixed. The options are: (1) do nothing for the time being, (2) replace one sapphire, but Jerry recut both of them when I abraded the tables on them, and I'm afraid the cut wouldn't match exactly - Jerry said maybe get a bigger stone and he'll cut it to match the other one, (3) replace both sapphires so they're the best match for cut and color.
Actually, just writing this out has helped clarify my thinking. Maybe a stone a bit bigger than 1 ctw and Jerry can cut it to match the other one. How would I go about sourcing a matching stone? Any ideas/thoughts are appreciated.
