QUESTION:<\/h2>\n

\nGWEN IN TULSA, OK, WRITES:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n6 Months Ago I Purchased a Three Diamond Ring<\/a>\"\". The Middle Diamond has a GIA Rating of VS1 for Clarity. <\/p>\n

\nA Week Ago when I was Cleaning my Ring I noticed a Very Obvious, Very Eye Visible Dark Circle<\/strong> immediately Below the Top Prong. I will take it back to the Jeweler, but is that a Flaw I Never Noticed Before?<\/p>\n

\n I thought the GIA Rating Guaranteed No Visible Flaws<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nAm I Wrong or could it be something to do with that Prong? <\/p>\n

ANSWER FOR GWEN:<\/h2>\n

Hi Gwen<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nBeing GIA and VS1, you are Correct<\/strong>, there should be No Visible Dark Flaws. <\/p>\n

\nI would believe that if it was an Eye-Visible Flaw that you would have Noticed it Long Before. So there may be a couple more things happening…<\/p>\n

\nOne could be Dirt or Debris Stuck on the Bottom of the Diamond Reflecting Back. It could also have Water Stains on the Stone<\/strong>. I have seen some Diamonds come in with Iron Stains on the Diamond from Well Water<\/strong> that was Difficult to get off the Diamond, but it does come off.<\/p>\n

\nThe only other thing that comes to mind is the Prongs<\/strong>. You say the Circle is directly Beneath a Prong, which means it could actually be a Reflection of the Prong itself. If the Prong gets Lifted or Pulled up off the Stone a little, it can actually cause a Reflection of it to Appear in the Diamond<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nBut no matter what, there should Not be any Visible Dark Spots in a VS1 Diamond. SI maybe, VS Nope!<\/strong> <\/p>\n

\nTake it to the Jeweler and have them Clean it well and Check the Prongs. Chances are, that will Fix your Problem!<\/strong> Good luck! <\/p>\n
