"I broke a $3,000 diamond at work once. It was a wedding ring. I was tightening a little princess cut (the square one with the sharp points), and all of a sudden it turned into a broken “milky/frosted” mess, lol. You would be surprised on how easy it is to break a diamond; especially when they have super-sharp points. You can’t scratch them, but they will break.

Aftermath was a “hey, that happens” and some more training. I broke several more stones after that, but all small and easy and cheap to replace. Best job I’ve ever had."
