[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 674997, member: 15199"]Two questions about the diamond, it appears to have a fracture and damage under the lower left prong in the photo, but could well be refracted from one of the other facets. If it is, it will reduce value. More importantly, the edges of the table ( top facet and the ones around it) seem like they are not sharp , but abraded, which would indicate it was not diamond. Fractures often occur during regular use, as the diamond might be hit against something and although diamonds are "hard", they are also fragile and fracture easy, even if a prong is mis set. Not saying it is damaged, just I can't tell from photos, but it is something you can see with a magnifier yourself. Diamonds are not reselling well at the time, a glut at DeBeers and other mines.
