PLEASE PLEASE someone knowledged out there give me some advice! My fiance and I bought a 1.12ct. H-SI2 diamond (supposedly EGL certified) with a 6.5gram gold mounting for $6165.00. Within a day, I took it to be appraised and found out that it had been LASER-DRILLED and also that the supposed EGL certificate was fake (no match in EGL database). It was appraised at $4950 for the replacement cost. I went back to the jeweler ready to explode with anger, and he apologized and blamed it on his "cutter" who had sold it to him. We agreed that he would use $5,800 of the purchase price to find another diamond... So in other words, he's suppose to get us a diamond that will cost him $5,800 (no profit for him because of the mistake). He has said that he doesn't want his store's name to be dragged through the mud... So he knows he's in hot water. Now he has offerred us the following:
1.32ct. H-SI1 --- Ideal Cut with No fluoresence.
This stone is GIA certified and he has offerred to send it to GIA to have it laser inscribed with the number.
Would something like this really cost him $5800 or is he still trying to make a profit off of us.
PLEASE SOMEBODY OUT THERE HELP... It has been three weeks since he has been trying to find us another diamond... Should we accept this one or not??????
I need to let the guy know by tomorrow!!!!
By the way, we were told by a lawyer that we could sue him for $12,000 but that it would take about 2 years... The lawyer said that we should forget about suing and just use our leverage to get a better diamond out of the process.
THANK YOU to anyone who can offer me some advice.
