So sorry to hear of your trouble
If there is a trade stamp. we might be able to identify who made the ring......however it would seem that finding out who sold it is the least of the problems.

The quickest way to determine whether it's expensive or not is simply to take it to your friendly neighborhood jeweler. Ask them if it's a real diamond, and roughly how much they think it's worth (no need for any kind of formal appraisal here). Most if not all jewelers will do this for free, so be sure to thank them for their time.

This is obviously the least of your problems... good luck dealing with this situation.

highly unlikely we'd be able to tell you that- actually, it will be next to impossible for anyone but your wife to answer the question......sorry.....

I agree, even if you knew the jeweler where this came from, s/he has an obligation to maintain the identity of his/her customers confidential in order to protect their privacy.

If you control or have access to the family finances, you might be able to see the charge on a credit card or bank statement.

We're going a bit off-topic now, but why not just ask her in a non-confrontational way? If your wife is indeed cheating, there will be other tell-tale signs... phone records, long nights 'at work', etc. Is it possible she's safeguarding the ring for a friend? Some other logical and innocent explanation?
