I have a ring from a previous engagement that ended less than well. Several years later, I''m ready to ready to try again with the perfect woman. I am still in possession of the first ring but obviously cannot use the same stone. I''m wondering the best way to recover the cost. Any ideas? As I said in the subject line, the stone is .73, G, I1. I have been told by several jewelers that it is a "very nice stone." One said it appears to have a higher clarity than an I1. Paid $1423 for the stone and $400 for a beautiful custom setting.
I appreciate any input.
