HAVE YOUR RING INSPECTED
Michele came in today to resize her diamond ring. As standard take-in procedure we started to document the details of the ring on a receipt. A plotting was made for diamond for identification. Its size was recorded. The side diamonds were also counted and listed on the receipt.
Upon further inspection with a magnifier we noticed that the base of the prongs that was holding the one carat diamond had a crack running all around it. It was not visible to the naked eye. If this was left as it was it would have been just a matter of time before the prongs broke off and diamond would have been lost.
It is essential to have your ring professionally inspected periodically to prevent these types of disastrous consequences.
