Two weeks ago, I purchased a diamond engagment ring for my now fiance from a reputable San Fransisco Jewler. Today Irecieved a phone call from the jewler, that the wrong diamond was used in the ring. She requested that I either return to the store with the ring, or have it sent to the store, so that the diamond I purchased could be placed into the ring.
From my conversation, the GIA cert that i have does not match the diamond in the ring. The salseperson who called me was obviously choosing her words very carefully, and being intentionally vague. she said that the diamonds were basically the same weight, and "similar" clarity. However, it is my assumption that the diamond that my fiance is wearing is more valuable than the one I "purchased."
I have no interest in returning the ring or the rock. It's on her finger, and that's where I'd like to keep it. I'm not going to tell her "Sorry hunny, the jeweler made a mistake, I need to get you a new diamond, can I borrow the ring for a couple days." Value aside, it's their mistake, It's insulting, and, as yet, they have made no attempt to make it worth my while.
I'd prefer to just swap GIA certs. I'd prefer not to even tell my fiance. And as I see i, the jewler has litle recourse. But I do want to be able to insure the ring.
Any thoughts?
