(To Recap)
The plat/diamond Art Deco ring that I bought last week I suspected had a chipped diamond (visible only under a loupe) as this wasn't listed so I sent it back for the diamond be replaced.
The seller was more than accommodating and said she would sort it with another diamond matching through her jeweller. I also needed it made smaller by couple of sizes. This ring straight away drew me to it, as long as the inclusion is safe & not making the diamond prone to cracking should I knock it, then I'll happily keep it as it made me smile, the inclusion isn't visible looking at it without a loupe & love the detailing of it all.
Skip a couple of days and the sellers jeweller looked at it & said it's not a chip, it's in fact a feather inclusion under the table (I'm
by no means an expert, Total opposite in fact !) and I could either have a full refund or have if sized & sent back to me end of this week.
Update:
Today I received the ring. I took it to 3 independent jewellers, 2 specialising in antiques and it is an inclusion, however it's broken the surface of the diamond. They said it's so beautiful they would keep it but £900 is a lot of money if I crack the diamond.
They said it may well have been like that for 50 years, and to enjoy it regardless but I can't really get over the chip- if it were an inclusion that didn't reach the surface I wouldn't be bothered.
It certainly is not 'under the table of the diamond' like the sellers jeweller apparently said.
Gutted.
: ( Think I'm best definitely sending it back for refund.

, Sorry for the disappointment, but there are lots of pretty vintage pieces out there; I'm sure you'll find something you love! And you'll have fun looking in the meantime
