Hi I''m new and have been lurking for some time. I have a problem now so I''m hoping I placed this in the right forum and some of you can help me.
About 6 years ago my husband bought me a ring from a chain jewelry store. He had a trade in so he decided instead of letting that go to waste he''d go back and get my ring there as well. My only stipulations were to get my diamond loose and have it set as he''d have a better chance to get a quality diamond that way.
As I''ve been lurking I''ve learned sooooo much about dimaond certifications and such. Well my diamond is an EGL certified stone. However, I don''t have the certificate I only have a sticker from the jeweler stating this info:
Shape
WEight
Clairty
Color
DIM
Dimaond EGL
PMR#
Now on the DIM line which I''m assuming is dimensions is a long 10 digit number. I''ve contacted EGL USA and they''ve said it''s not their stone. I also contacted the jeweler who says they will do all they can to get me my certificate. I''ve also stated that if they''ve misrepresnted me in anyway that I will be getting the stone we so overpaid for. I''ve emailed EGL International as well hoping that the number I''ve got on my tag is in fact the certified number and they will be able to get me my papers.
If neither of the numbers presenteed on my tag are EGL numbers then basically I have nothing to get my cert with. I know from all my reading here that EGL isn''t a very good certification but it''s better than not having anything at all.
Have I covered all my bases? If the jeweler did misrepresent do I have a leg to stand on being it''s been over 6 yers ago? I wish I had all of the info I had now back then...I would have told my dh to swallow the trade in and get something better for the money.
HELP!!!!!
