I am definitely happily engaged....but we got this ring online and at first I was definitely excited because well we''re engaged after3 1/2 years! So a few days ago we finally got the ring appraised because Im totally clumsy...not that I plan on loosing it, we just would like to get insurance on it....so the ring was appraised 3x more than what my FI paid for it....which is great, but ok, here''s the problem....
Specs that we were given from vendor:
1ct centerstone
I1 clarity
E color
.12ctw sidestones
18kt whitegold....
After we got the appraisal here are the specs that a very well respected jeweler in our neighborhood gave us:
Centerstone : .95ct!!!!
Clarity: I1 ( and it had a hidden inclusion that I didnt know about...)
Color: I!!!
the rest is the same...
But ok, when they called me about the other inclusion, I totally flipped out! I mean it''s not as big as the other one, but I kinda felt cheated....Im not trying to be mean, but it totally sucked....and then for them to tell us that it was under a carat and that it wasn''t E color!!!!
I have to say that when I looked through the loop I did see a few arrows
but I just felt so frustrated! It must have really strong blue flouresence or something because this thing is white! (which honestly, for my upgrade I totally want like a K! ) Coatimundi- I love your K solitaire
!!! But ok, I want to know what you all think.....Should I not be so mad...would you? The jeweler said that you get what you pay for- and I guess thats true.....And I know I really shouldnt be complaining because we''re both still in school....but I hate it when people aren''t honest with me... I mean Im sure we still would have bought it even if we knew what we know now, but it''s really an honesty thing....
