Any diamond can chip due to bad luck, cleavage planes, rarely vulnerabilities due to inclusions, extremely thin girdles. Rounds are considered pretty safe, although these can and do chip, diamonds with distinct edges such as Princess may be more prone to chipping. But the bottom line is there are no guarantees.Date: 3/15/2009 7:42:16 AM

I was just reading some posts on diamond chipping. Are there some shapes that are least likely to chip?
Yes that is what I meant, I probably didn't explain it well. We also have a case of a Princess where it appears part of the top faceting has sheared off on the actual surface of the diamond, so it isn't just corners which are at risk. But the bottom line is no diamond is exempt from chipping regardless of shape.Date: 3/15/2009 9:03:44 AM

More than edges, it's sharp corners. Princesses, French cuts, squares, ... are easier to chip.
