They showed us the diamond under a microscope, and marked the identifying features on a piece of paper that I kept (mainly one small inclusion).

The resizing was perfect, and you can't see anything from it on the ring.
Op here. Was this in dc?
I think we took it to Jared's. Sorry, it was almost 15 years ago and I don't remember for sure. It was not the same place he'd bought the ring, as that was out of state and I wanted to have it adjusted somewhere locally, so we just went with a big-name store thinking that they'd be less likely to pull one over on us (more to lose from bad publicity). Don't know if that's a valid assumption or not, but it worked out for us.
