Hey everyone! I''m new here and very green about jewelry and diamonds. Please forgive my total lack of knowledge.
My fiance bought me a diamond with the intention of us going together to pick out the ring. We found the ring at Bailey Banks and Biddle and they happen to be going out of business which is a huge plus! It''s a Ritani Bella Vita three stone (just like the one of poster chemgeek). The sales people said that my .72 ct diamond is too small because it''s suposed to be .75 ct. They thought the jeweler (who travels to all of the BBB and wasn''t in that day) may be able to do fill it in to make it fit (I have no idea what that means). We bought the ring and will be able to return it if the jeweler doesn''t think the ring would look good or if we don''t want to pay what he wants to charge. We bought the ring Monday and the jeweler still hasn''t called.
I found chemgeek''s post about her ring and was excited to read that her diamond is .7. She didn''t say anything about having to mess around with the setting to get it to fit but I''m not sure if that''s the case. She hasn''t responded yet so my nerves have gotten to me so much that I emailed Ritani.
Ritani''s response was not comforting at all!! I''m even more worried. They say that the Rings at BBB are "stock rings" with cz. Since it''s a bezel set, the cz should not be removed or the bezel set will be totally damaged beyond repair. I was further told that if the jewelr did manage to get the diamond in, the Ritani warranty would be null. I thought that most rings at stores came with cz so potential buyers could get an idea of what the ring would look like. I thought what I was doing was the norm.
Is Ritani just trying to scare me and make money off of me? Or is BBB messing with me by selling me a ring that has a cz in it that isn''t normally for sale? I''m totally clueless and freaked out. Please help!
