Dishonest Jeweler- Diamond Swap

[huckle69]

I apologize if I am not posting under the correct section. A reliable source has informed me that a reputable local jeweler has switched a diamond that was being reset as a pendant. The woman who owns the stone has filed a formal grievance. My question is, if this complaint is valid and the jeweler did switch stones; will this be public information? I actually went to this "reputable" dealer looking for my engagement ring. I think consumers have the right to know if an allegation like this is proven to be true.

If a jeweler is convicted of stealing someone’s diamond, this would be a matter of public record.

Reminds me of that Diane Sawyer expose where she caught a jeweler changing out an elderly lady''s diamond. Does anyone remember that show? It has haunted me for years. I guess that is why I always want inscribed diamonds.

Yes I totally remeber that show. The diamond was supposedly switched at three out of five of the stores they went to! Nightmares!!

I guess what I want to know is how does a consumer know if a jeweler has been found guilty of scamming customers. Where would one go to find this information? Maybe the local better business bureau?
