I'm not a troll. I periodically look through the Pricescope "Jewellry Box" to see pictures of people's rings.
I needed to vent about this somewhere, so I chose to do it here.
I made a mistake and I learned my lesson. The seller also was incredibly rude. I simply was not familiar enough with Ebay and its policies. The rules are quite complicated.
I don't want to reveal the seller's name because that would be vindictive.
I admit I made a mistake---no one is perfect. This is the first time it's ever happened to me, and I have learned my lesson.
I am very glad that I did NOT go through with the transaction, as the seller was rude to me even BEFORE I backed out of the deal. Also, I am not 100% convinced that the ring is authentic.
I've looked at dozens of pictures of this ring style online, and her ring was the first I ever saw WITHOUT pave stones on the basket. On the brand name store's website, the ring is also shown ONLY with a pave basket. So I'm not convinced that the ring comes in more than one style. I think this realization freaked me out more than anything, and I admit I only noticed it AFTER making the purchase commitment.
So I believe I had good reason to back out of the deal. My instinct told me something was "off" about the ring and the seller. Better to be safe than sorry, especially when you're paying $12,000.

What's next?
I believe there are a few ebay sellers worth investigating despite your unfortunate event. Notwithstanding many Estate dealers who handle the brands you are looking for....
