ddlingo- More than anything I wish you could make the seller and appraiser pay for this HUGE lack of integrity. Disgraceful to the highest degree.
I am horrified that I am in the same business with people that behave like that.


BUT- the folks that said to move on are right.
Send the piece of crap back, and be done with it.

BTW- Feydakin's suggestion is probably the most damaging thing you can do.
Negative publicity.

OK, here is the scenario.....I had ben dealing with the online diamond seller for over a month. He described a diamond and sent pictures it sounded like a great deal. But when I got the diamond all of the specs ( 4cs) were all in order except for the color. The clarity was great, The size was nice and so was the cut. But the Color was horrible. THe diamond was straight Yellow! I had already paid for the diamond with my AMEX. But he didn't avoid me he understood my disappointment and stated that he would find another ring nonclarity enhanced. This was key, I secifically stated that I did not want a clarity enhanced ring. So I returned the ring and he kept my money with theagreement that he would find a omparable priced ring to my satisfaction. He took forever, but he did not avaoi me. Then my proposal date was fast appoaching and it had been almost 6 weeks. No ring..He still ahd my money. He then began to lie and say that he had the new ring and that it was not clarity enhanced(even though he continously tried to concince me to buy one) . Now he wa saying te ring was on the way and it never was. Now he avoided me for almost 3 weeks and now the week of my porposal was here. I called him and left a threatning message and then called AMEX and fileda dispute. They credited me back with the money and I called it a day. Then I was going to purchase a ring locally and all of a sudedn the ring arrived and I got a call form the jewler. I told him i was angry it took so long but glad I got it. He then stated that I conned him by cancelling the payment with AMEX. It was just dumb luck that the day I filed the dispute that I got the ring the next day. Anyway, he told me that the ring was not lclarith enhanced again and said that he sent the appraisal with the diamond and that I need to immediatley send him payment. But my proposal was the next day. So I proposed 1st then took the ring for resizing and appraisal and low and behold.....the ring was clarity enhanced and my credit card compnay gave me my money back. The appraisal was from UGL. but it idn't not list it as clarity enhanced at all. Now I have given my fiance' this damn ring and now I find that it is clarity enhanced. She nor I wanted this type of ring. What whould I do, now he is threatinig to take legal action if I do not return the ring or the money, but I feel that he tried to defraud me! And I am pissed!

I have the same problem but mine may make you feel better. I know it is not right what you are going through. My store is with a Jewlery in NYC. I bought a diamond from him, he gave me an appraisal that he hand wrote saying this diamond was worth 13,000 a color G Clarity SI2. I return home, have a certified gemologist examine it to find this ring is not worth more than 2500.00 and it was clarity enhanced,colorwise, laser drilled, fractured filled. This merchant did not disclose this to me in anyway. I then tried to return the package to him 12 days after the purchase, paid 110.00 to ship to him cause I also insured it, to only have him refuse the package and then it was returned to me. I then filed a dispute with my Credit card company. Long story short I won after proving all this. 5 months later august 15,2007 this merchant took my credit card info he apparently kept and rebilled my credit card company. Now I have to start all over again. They told me he can do this since when I bought the diamond just signing the slip once gave him permission to contiue to charge me even if this time I did not authorize it. I got really mad. Told them if i won and i did then to me that makes it where he has NO more rights to my card. So now it is open again, I am starting all over. I had to change the credit card number, my card is no good now until i get the new one with the new number. I have lost sleep over this, gotten sick, very stressed. It is a total of 4900.00 and he told me it was his cost. RIGHT. IT is not worth more than 2500.00. So I feel it is a felony now but I will see what the credit card does to remove this rebill. It is so wrong and I have been very upset for the past few days again. I mean look at this ring. Not even sitting on the prongs right. See the lines that is the laser drilling to.I dont come here much please write to me at palmbeauties@yahoo.com put in the subject line diamond. Thanks

So who are the sellers??? If you really want to do some damage tell everyone who they are so they cannot rip anyone else off!
