Is This A Chip?

[snaphappy]

In love with the ring!! Don’t see any inclusions, but I’m a novice. My wife thinks the black speck is an inclusion, but I think it’s a chip. Neither of us can see it with the naked eye. But given that I spent $7600 on this ring I’m scared a chip will detract not only from value, but my daughter’s ability to sell the ring, if she wants to, after I pass.

Overall, I love it. But if it’s chipped I can be patient and keep searching for something else.

I have lots of questions. But I’ll wait to pester you guys until you guys tell me if it’s chipped or not haha!! Thank you! I would be lost without you guys and Neil literally picked this ring, even though I said no yellow gold, and even though I was scared of TRR and Neil was right. All of you were right. This is exactly what I was dreaming of!! But is it chipped??

Good video of the chip, not sure about audio, so you might want to mute:

Warning, loud dogs barking at some point. My neighbor is not kind to his dogs And at the end when my wife shows her ring we get a UPS delivery and my dogs get really excited! Ha!

Looks like a black inclusion. When you run your fingernail over the surface, does it feel like chip?

Also, I think you need a loupe! Here's a cheap one...

If that's consensus I'm keeping it forever!!

I agree with LuluMA that I think also the black speck is an inclusion; it looks like it’s on the interior of the stone. A loupe will allow you to look at it more magnified. Maybe your jeweler can look at it, too.

Your rings are both really awesome, special unique and intact antique settings and diamonds I think!

Your’s is what I’d consider a Transitional also. Maybe someone else can weigh in on cut.

Your wife’s stone is really unique because it has a high crown and small table like a OEC but it’s also got splintery facets like a modern brilliant. I’ve never seen a diamond cut like her’s before and her setting is mind blowing from the side. Your setting is also so wonderful, it’s Art Deco, and i would love to know where it was made. Your diamond has blocky facets which throw big blocks of rainbow fire.

Spectacular finds, yay for you both!!
