Question:<\/h2>\n

\nMy Diamond is Chipped on the side, will the Chip get worse? <\/strong>It is a Round Diamond and the Chip has taken some of its Shape. My fiance bought the ring used, it’s a .90 Carat and we got it for $500<\/strong>, the ring and the diamond band.<\/p>\n

I LOVE the ring<\/strong> and it’s better than any ring we could ever afford, I’m just afraid it will continue to Chip. Is there anything I can do to fix or at least prevent further damage?<\/strong> -Liz<\/p>\n

\n\"Chipped<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/h2>\n

\nHi Liz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Yes, it is possible that your Diamond could Chip worse<\/strong>. But then again, any Diamond could Chip at anytime with the right amount of angle and force<\/strong>. Diamonds are very durable, but the weakest spot is around the Girdle<\/a>, and especially a Chipped Girdle.<\/p>\n

The one thing that I would recommend, besides being more careful, is to turn the Chip towards the middle of the ring<\/strong> (Not towards the top or bottom of your finger). Having a Jeweler put the chip towards the center of the mounting can help protect it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/p>\n

P.S. Get it insured<\/strong> to cover replacing Chipped or Broken Diamonds, because in life, you just never know!<\/p>\n
