My fiance and I picked out my engagement ring together today and it''s paid for and now being sized. I noticed a line running horizontally through the middle of the stone and asked what it was. The saleslady told me it was where the diamond had been inscribed. You can''t see it from the top, only the side. Well I thought it was alright and we bought it for $1600 and it is 3/8 total carats (has 2 small baguettes on the sides) It''s color F and clarity VS2. So when I got home and researched a little bit I learned that inscriptions are made by a laser and not noticable, and NOT running through the center of the stone. Did I get ripped off? Could the line be caused by poor cutting or is it maybe a crack or a feather? I''m not sure if feathers are this big, it was pretty large. It looks noticeable to me when I hold it 7 or 8 inches away from my face. Should I ask to see it under a microscope? What do I look for if I do look at it under a microscope? Maybe we can tell them we changed our minds. Advice would be greatly appreciated. We cannot afford to buy a ring that won''t last. Also, do you know if Diamond.com is a reputable place to buy a ring? There is a setting on there I absolutely love.
Thank you so much, Allie
