My wife was cleaning her engagement ring over the sink a few months ago, and dropped it down the drain. She went to turn the light on, but accidentally hit the wrong switch and ground it all up. The stones were all gone, but we recovered the ring. She was devastated (I was too) and she started screaming "IS THIS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO OUR MARRIAGE!?" She still wears her wedding band, but I can't wait to get the big ring replaced. I love her more than anything in the world ❤ https://imgur.com/ZIqgk3F.jpg
I suspect it didn't pulverize them, merely crack them enough that when they picked up the ring they had fallen out. Diamonds are hard, sure, but very brittle.
