to david n jan,
yes, tey allowed me to exchange the stone if need be as they havent send the current stone to thier factory for re-setting, in other words, the curernt stone is being pre-set in a 6-prong setting and i intend to re-set it in a 4-prong setting. Hence i could not posssibly get a thorough look at the diamond now that the main feather lies at the side of gridle where it is mostly blocked view by the current prong settings.
I reside in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and i guess things back here, such as return poilicy is not widely practised as oppose to states, i used to study in state for 4 years and normally i wud buy anyting w/o much hesistation knowing that im well protected under the return policy. Also, there is very little help i can get wen it comes to an independant appraisal of the diamond. The asles person seems to be convincing me that teh stone will be fine but again my worried is valid stil on the long feather that strecthes all the way to the girdle and slightly extended up to the table according to the diamond plot.
