Hi all. I started a thread a few days ago regarding a shiny spot on my otherwise frosted diamond girdle. I took it to Kay's (*cringe*- closest jeweler) to have it inspected under a microscope. Two gals looked at it and deemed it perfectly fine. One girl said it could be a scratch that I see; whereas the other girl said it could be natural inclusion (but that is not stated on my GIA apprasial, so I'm inclined to think that is not it). Should I count them as reliable?????????
Needless to say, I am still concerned. I seriously don't notice a chip (at least I hope not). It feels incredibly smooth. The frosted girdle next to it is grainier, but as soon as my nail grazes that shiny spot, it's smooooooth sailing! Also, strangely, the smooth, shiny spot on the girdle is the entire length of a facet.
I want to know what ya'll think this is! I never noticed it before- I'm really kicking myself for not scrutinizing my diamond to a T (I probably have and am trying to convince myself that I just missed this and that it's nothing...
) I've had this diamond for 3 years now. It's not the largest or greatest cut diamond, but it is my beloved e-ring diamond that my DH gave me. I would take this little guy over any other ring in the world (yes, I am a sentimental sap!).
Here are some pictures to show you (hopefully) what I am talking about. What do you think it is?

I don't have a loupe; I'm not even sure I could use it properly if I had one!
