I think I cracked my diamond

Original post by JennyAPH

Ok I have no luck.. I actually dont even really care just dont know what to do

Heres the story... I got my e-ring and had it insured with jewlers mutual. Since then the setting had broke twice. Basically they f-ed it up when sizing it for me and caused the metal to be weak.. Anyhow FH got me a new setting and I kept my old diamond.

So now a day after I get the new setting I notice that my diamond looks cloudy in one corner and when you look at it he right way you can see what looks like a crack. I am not sure if this can happen..and I am not sure how it happened. Either the jewler accidentally did it when resetting it, or I did it when I dropped it the other day

regardless I really dont care that much cause you cant tell unless you look for it.. However does anyone know if it can get worse with time?

Also I dont know what to do about the insurance. Since its insured with a different setting I assume I have to get it re-appraised and re-insured.. but now im nervous it will be appraised at less or I wont be able to insure it because of this.

Again not sure if its cracked or chipped, but something happened... FH cant notice it and like i said its not noticeable.. only to me cause I know every little inch of this diamond.. It kinda bothers me but oh well.. what can you do!

Thanks.. but I def. know my diamond is legit. I have all the paper work and had it appraised etc. Just an accident that happened while resetting it.

Re: I think I cracked my diamond

I once thought I saw a cloudy mark and thought it cracked or something.
After cleaning it, I realized it was the reflection of being dirty (probably one of the many lotions I use).
Did you try cleaning it?
Like the stuff that you dip in?


Good luck!
