Hi guys
My fiance proposed with an heirloom ring. It''s a miners cut round stone in a square setting and it''s beautiful. I have looked at it under a 10x scope and can see that it is chipped on the side. I can also see where the bottom point was chopped off. Other than that it''s gorgeous.
My questions are, where should we get this appraised? At a normal jeweler? Also, how can we correct this chip? Is it possible to recut it and cut the chip out without sacrificing much of the stone? ANd is there any way to turn this into a modern brilliant cut, and, if so, how will it change the stone?
I''d post a picture but I haven''t been able to take a good one. Any suggestions are appreciated.
