I have a 1.42 carat, round brilliant, D/SII, faint blue stone set in a platinum ring. I paid $8,000 for it
, and, of course, the engagement is off. I took the ring to a prominent jeweler in town and told the man behind the counter that I wanted to sell it. He looked at me like I wasn''t fit to wipe dog doo off the bottoms of his shoes. Furthermore, he said that the store wasn''t interested in buying the ring- too few carats, and he said that EGL wasn''t a good certificate. I thanked him and left, but the experience left me with 3 questions-
1. Did I get ripped off when buying this ring?
2. Is EGL really not a good certification board?
3. Is there any hope for selling this ring to another jeweler?
Help!!
