My asscher has a booboo.
It is a super tiny tiny chip on the girdle.
GOG has been very gracious offering to polish it out.
They even offered to reimburse for shipping.
I am posting pics to give you an idea of how small it is, fortunately I have acess to nice microscope cameras.
I am wondering if leaving it alone puts the stone more at risk during the stress of setting, or later if the stone is knocked against someting right at the chip.
To give you an idea how tiny the chip is, the stone is 2.26 ct. F VVS2 with a 3.51% girdle per GIA.
