I recently got engaged; my fiance knew I wanted a sapphire and waited for me to pick out the ring with him. We went to a local, reputable jewellery store and I picked out a gorgeous sapphire. It''s a 1.9 carat oval, cut beautifully with a medium blue color and a hint of purple. (I''ll try to post a picture) We may have paid a little more for it than at othe places, but I liked being able to pick it out in person and immediately fell in love with the stone.
The problem is: my fiance picked up the ring yesterday (after the stone had been set) and gave it to me last night. This morning I noticed a small chip on the edge and a dent/scratch on the table. They look like they came from the tools used to hold the stone while mounting it. Now I dont'' know what to do. What can I expect from the store since it clearly happened while they were setting the stone. I love this stone but wonder if I should take a new one if offered, if they even make an offer. I''m trying to be as laid back as possible, but every time I look at the beautiful stone I see the chip and look for the comet shapped scratch.
Help!
PS - This site was so helpful in my search and education for a ring. Thanks for the help from a previous lurker!
