cheated???? help!

[Luckiest Girl Ever]

Hello,
This is my first post. This site was recommended to me by a friend and I have never found a website better than this. My boyfriend and I have been looking for a ring for ever. we''re in no rush if i means finding something we feel is a ''good deal''. A jeweler has shown us a ring, E color, .74 carat, VVS2 clarity... the appraisal was for 6,500 grand but said he will sell it for 3,000. is that normal? he said it''s a deal...any comments? or does this sound fishy?
thanks !

I posted on your other thread, but here it is again!

I am betting at that price that this stone does not have a GIA or AGS grading certificate. $3000 is too low for a well cut E VVS2 at .74 cts. So understand that you usually get what you pay for, and this stone more than likely is not E VVS2 if it doesn''t have a reliable lab certificate.

Use this tool to search for ideal cut stones:

Put in excellent-excellent for cut and check GIA and AGS for labs.

I agree with Diamondseeker...something is a miss...maybe a poor cut...A red flag should always come up when a jeweler plays a deep discount game like this.If the stone is as its represented then it could be that its a trade-in or bought off the street and the jeweler is looking for quick turn over....let us know what you find out.

Why do you think you''ve been cheated, or are you just anticipating this? If you believe the jeweler is trying/will try to cheat you, then why do business with him/her. Use your most powerful weapons, your legs, and walk!
