Best Answer

Yes.

If the stone has any imperfection, flaw or inclusion, that represents a weak bond in the structure of the diamond stone. If the setting doesn't protect the stone, and if the diamond is hit 'just right' with the exact amount of force and at the 'exact' angle necessary, the diamond can chip.

Chipping a diamond is unusual, however, and doesn't occur very often. But it's one of the reasons for buying insurance on a diamond.
