I am considering purchasing this stone: http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/diamond_Details.aspx?itemcode=AGS-6640503# (it says SOLD because I have it on hold). Because of the inclusions that appear to be present around the girdle, should I be worried that it may chip when I get the stone set? I want to get the stone set by a local jeweler so that I have a relationship with someone local with the ring and I can return for free cleanings/resizing. I have searched the forums about insuring a loose stone but it looks like it can go either way and in most cases is not possible. Does anybody have recent experience successfully getting a loose stone insured for 1 week before/during the setting process? I am wondering if all the risks involved in this (buying online/getting it appraised/insuring the loose stone/stone getting chipped by setter) may outweigh the costs savings of buying online.
Thanks for any advice
