Hello,
I'm new here and recently engaged. My fiance bought my ring without much input from me. After he proposed and gave me the ring I found out where he bought it and it is not a place I personally would trust as being the most reputable. I found out he bought the setting and diamond together as a set, so never saw the diamond loose or under magnification. It is supposedly a 0.69 ct RB center, H/I color, I1 clarity. The setting is 18k white gold with 22 RB pave stones totaling 0.57ct. However, these specs are just based on a piece of paper written up and signed by the jeweler, and it did not come with any official GIA certification (though they claim the specs were based off a GIA report). I cannot see any visible inclusions in the center stone, but two of the small stones in the band definitely have black spots. My fiance payed $4800 total for the entire ring. Can anyone tell me if they think my fiance got ripped off? Since I found out he never saw the diamond loose and that there is no official GIA certification I have been sick worrying that he dropped nearly $5000 on something that isn't worth that (but of course I have kept my mouth shut). I know he meant well and was just excited about getting me a ring and proposing as soon as possible after he got his bonus check at work. Any input would be appreciated!

. I think the question you have to ask is whether you like the ring enough to wear the rest of your life. If not, then I think it's worth talking about going back to the jewelers to return it. If they don't have the GIA report, maybe you can use that as the reason for a return. As a guy, I'd be disappointed too if the ring I got wasn't the best out there, but I'd care about whether she actually liked it or not more.
You can find 'beautiful' in lots and lots of places!
