Howdy y’all, just for fun I thought I would ask for you to share any funny, not too earth shattering, stories about dropping diamonds and that immediate onset of panic that ensues, but hopefully we all have happy endings to the tale. If you handle diamonds long enough, it is going to happen at some point to everyone, newbie, prosumer, or trade member, so maybe by sharing our wonderful woes we can help ease the pain a bit for others when they have their first frightful moment.
In my past life at NM , my very first experience wasn’t really me dropping the diamonds but I was holding open a parcel paper full of about 3.00cts of 0.01pointers intense pink melee diamonds and the customer sneezed right into it. Talk about being tickled pink, melees in my hair, in my shoes, everywhere!! We were picking up pink melee stones for days!!! He did buy the lot and had a beautiful pendant made for his wife with them.
So it was well worth the near heart attack I nearly had.
How about you?
