I recently purchased a 1.2 carat RB H&A cut. The diamond was inscribed with "H&A AGSL" and then the cert # on the girdle. I brought the diamond to a jeweler and has it mounted in a 6 prong tiffany setting. When I picked the ring up, I couldn't see the inscription under the loupe. The jeweller assured me that he did not cover the inscription with a prong. I looked again, and was able to see the H&A portion of the inscription, but it was very, very faint. I don't suspect the diamond was switched as it looks to be my stone. I had the stone appraised loose and will have appraised mounted this week just to be sure. The jeweller said that a would be able to see it easier under dark field illumination.
Is there anything that happens during the setting process that could cause the inscription to fade? Should I be worried?
