I recently gave my girlfriend an engagement ring from a local Jewelery store. He gave me a great deal on a VSG 76 point diamond ($2500). However, my fiance noticed today, as she was sitting outside, there seems to be a noticable gash on the one side of the diamond. When I use a pin and lightly go over the area, you can tell the pin goes into the gash and the surface is rough. Unlike the rest of the diamond, which is smooth. Like I said it is noticable to the eye.
I did not notice it while looking at the diamond at other times. So, I am guessing it may have happened when he was setting the stone. I have a few questions:
Does this greatly reduce the value? and
Should he be responsible and get me a new diamond?
If he tells me theres nothing he can do, what steps do I take then?
Thanks in advance for any help. I am sick thinking I spent all this money on a decent diamond only to have it be worth much less, and there is nothing I can do about it.
