As I was writing in some other threads I''m thinking of my first gemstone purchase, probably a solitaire style men''s ring. But I asked around and it seems that in my whole country (I''m not from the States or GB) there are no gem cutters, nor anyone able to repolish a stone. Now, since I was planning a bigger stone, and since I''m clumsy with hands (bang accidentally against tables, wall tiles, doors - often while explaining things to people etc.), I think I''d damage it even with just occasional wear. Should I just go with a design implementing several smaller stones, so that damage is much less evident? If so, how small? It would even be possible to easily replace the damaged stone that way. Oh yeah, I''m not thinking of something very expensive, so sending the stone abroad for repolishing or recutting and setting it again, probably wouldn''t be cost effective. Any suggestions?
