Hi, i'm new to diamonds,
i've placed an online order to create a ring

The diamond is set in white gold so the color of the diamond is slightly more important compared to yellow gold.

I've received my ring but i noticed that they did not placed my diamond that I've ordered

My original order was a HDR diamond (14020370035) Color EW(E)
But i received a HDR diamond ( 14027376003) Color RW(G)

They offered me to replace the diamond with the one that I've ordered but the diamond looks already beautiful!
I can compare them only by the specifications on the sertificates,

Wat should i do, send the ring back and replace the diamond or keep the one that i received?

The one that i received:

The one that i ordered

The girdle is slightly smaller on the one that i've reveived but the color is G instead of E

Thanks for your advice!

At a minimum you should be compensated for the difference in the color (ordered E...got a G). If you like the stone you
should keep it. The angles on the G look a little better but it is deep at 62.8%. They are both on the deep side.

Thanks for your advice! I've requested a compensation for the difference in color.
i'm happy with the stone i've got and yes, they are on the deep side, but you get where you pay for right? (except me haha)?

This is really a case of this or that. You're aware of the proportions being off but you love the stone anyway. It's beautiful in your eyes & you want to keep it. I say...keep it. Ask them for a price adjustment & enjoy your stone. :))

Thanks for the advice!

Now i need to know what refund i should get :)

i've paid 725 euro for the stone with the ring. The ring itself is 220 without the stone

that said, i've paid 505 for the stone,

when i look at the G color version with 'my diamond specs'
the price is between ($510 - $520)

and the E color
the price is between ($520 - $540)

A difference of about 20 USD

On their site the difference between E and G is about 45 euro's

What are your thoughts about the amount of refund i should get?

PS my love for diamonds starts to grow :angel:

According to your search $20 would be about right. Due to the size of the stone the difference in value is small.
