Hi folks
I've placed an order for our engagement ring and I'm wondering what should be done when picking up the ring. What kind of specific tests or inspections should be made?
1. Read girdle - should I ask to read to the girdle to see the AGS #? Can you even do that once the diamond is in the setting?
2. Stone damage from setting - I've seen others with damaged or flawed stones due to a problem with the setting. Is this just some sort of "eye" test near the prongs to see if there's any visible problem?
Should I do these "tests" in the store? What other tests or inspections are normal?
Thanks!
