Hi, I have a stone that was to be made into our engagment ring but I have now been told today by a local jeweller may be clarity enhanced, which I was not aware of before.
The plan was to have the .95 carat stone (which was in a setting but has now been removed and is just loose) set as the center stone of a ring with eight or ten .05 point shoulder diamonds claw set.
We bought a wedding band to match the design of the proposed engagement ring (11 0.05 point claw set diamonds in gold band, TCW 0.55.
A local goldsmith here in Dunedin New Zealand (not the one who told us the stone is likely fracture filled) now has the wedding band and is coming up with design pics for the ring to be made.
The stone was bought in the US and we cannot affored to buy another center stone as prices here are very expensive with our horrible exchange rate now
(
My question is, despite fo the limiations of owning a Clarity enhanced diamond (ie, cleaning etc), is it possible to have the stone set in a ring without subjecting it to heat which may degrade the filling in there???
Please help as I am sick about this whole thing! I had never ever heard of these filled diamonds before today!
