Question:<\/h2>\n

I accidentally dropped my .36 CT, D Color, VS1 Clarity, Princess Cut Diamond Ring setting, size 16, Engagement Ring on tile floor. I checked the ring through the small lens (those jewel shops use to check on Diamonds<\/a>), but I see no cracks from the side, but some feather like scratches, is it normal?<\/p>\n

Does that mean my Diamond is not cracked? <\/p>\n

\nAny help from the pros would be much appreciated!<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/h2>\n

Hi Alicia.<\/p>\n

\nTake your ring into a Jeweler and have them Microscope<\/a> it to make sure.<\/p>\n

Being a VS1 Diamond<\/a> of that quality you should never see any Inclusions, Flaws, Cracks or Lines in the stone with your naked eye. Ever!<\/p>\n

If it looks like there are feather like scratches, have a pro take a closer look and inspect everything. Just to be sure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThanks Richard.<\/p>\n

I am also wondering if it is necessary to get the ring for appraised from GIA again since I dropped the ring?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Response:<\/h2>\n

\nHi Alicia.<\/p>\n

\nYou will not have to get it reappraised<\/strong>. If by chance your Diamond was cracked, it would lower it’s resale value, but that is about it. Your appraisal would still do what it was meant to do, identify your Diamond.<\/p>\n

If your stone is cracked, hopefully you have it insured so they would cover replacement<\/strong>. Only then would you really need a new appraisal.<\/p>\n
