how easy is it for a diamond to get scratched by another diamond? my sister was looking at loose stones and held a stone (secured with tweezers) above her engagement ring to check out the size difference and she felt the two stones make contact. she said the culet of the loose stone may have grazed/rubbed her ering diamond as she was positioning the loose stone above her ering. she freaked out and thought she saw scratches on her diamond with a loupe (her ring was just cleaned so we don''t think it was dirt or lint) but after cleaning it again and checking it out muliple times, she didn''t see anything abnormal.
would it be unlikely for a diamond to scratch another diamond that way? or are diamonds very easily scratched by other diamonds and a light graze or rub will result in scratches? maybe she did see scratches but they''re so light/minor that they''re hard to find even with a loupe?
