So, my now-fiance has had her engagement ring for about a week now. She loves the ring and I was very happy with how the proposal went. We''ve been on cloud 9 for the past week or so.
But a couple of days ago she noticed something about her center-stone. On one edge of the diamond at the girdle there is a place where her fingernail catches. Don''t ask me how she found it, but she did.
I ran my finger on this edge and I feel something too. I haven''t been able to look at it through any type of magnification, not even a loupe, so I don''t really know what it is, but I''ve heard of the danger of getting chips on the girdle, possibly by holding a diamond too hard with tweezers.
Her stone is a RB, and it seems like chips are more common with square cut stones, and usually on the corners. Is it possible that her stone was somehow chipped while it was being set or during the appraisal process? The stone is suppose to have ideal (AGS 0) polish so I don''t think its a cutting issue.
If it is a chip, do I have any options available to "fix" the stone?
I realize that I''ll probably need to confirm whatever it is with either a loupe or a microscope before proceeding, but just wondering if other people have had similar experiences. Thanks in advance!
