Is There a Crack in My Diamond Ring? - Expert Advice

Question
Hi,
I notice a line underneath my wedding diamond ring after wearing it for a week, is it cracked?
The line looks like a crack, like a line of marking using a needle, but the diamond itself looks pretty still. Is it because it is a less expensive diamond? or is it cracked? I don't remember seeing it while we bought it. Thanks!

Answer
HI MAY,

IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY EXACTLY WHAT IT IS YOU ARE SEEING IN YOUR DIAMOND. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU TAKE IT BACK TO WHERE YOU BOUGHT IT AND HAVE IT INSPECTED. USUALLY A CRACK IN A DIAMOND IS NOT STRAIGHT. IF YOU DID NOT SEE THIS LINE WHEN YOU WERE BUYING IT THEN IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS. SO FIRST RETURN TO THE STORE WHERE YOU PURCHASED IT AND GET A GOOD LOOK AT IT THROUGH A MICROSCOPE. ASK THEIR OPINION AND IF NECESSARY HAVE THEM GET A CERTIFICATE WITH A PLOT OF THE STONE TO VERIFY WHAT THE LINE IS. THAT IS THE BEST I CAN DO WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO INSPECT IT MYSELF.

GOOD LUCK
PETER
