New black spot in diamond engagement ring

I agree with Jem8472 - It could just be a speck of black dirt trapped underneath the stone that shows up when you look through the stone.
Take it to be cleaned and see how it turns out. Its surprising how much rubbish gets caught in the holey bits around the stones.

Thanks everyone. I shall be taking it into the jewellers this week and see what they have to say.

Sounds like a bit of dirt under the setting to me. If so it should come out with ultrasonic cleaning at the jewellers.

or you could just try strong alochol, traditionaly a lot of people used gin and a soft childs tooth brush.

my gf uses spirit which is 95% alochol and that really gets it clean and sparkly

Alternatively, a gentle scrub with a drop of washing-up liquid and a soft toothbrush should get most muck off a ring - just don't do it over the plughole of the sink

I have been into the jeweller's today and they have confirmed the black spot is an inclusion. I can't understand how we never noticed it before, and my husband said he checked the diamond thorouhly before he bought it - the shop certainly never pointed anything out to him. Never mind, I shall just have to ignore it! Thanks for the advice everyone.

It makes it yours - you'll always know your ring from any other - it makes it special to you.

add a touch of soda first, mind- ice and lemon optional!
