I just found this website and just a few days ago I went to the SAME Larry's on 47th ST NYC. I bought a beautiful setting from them 5 years ago and it appraised as it was stated by them all decent diamonds. So I went back to get something else 5 years later and guess what after the point of sale and had my ring sized, I see the receipt said clarity enhanced . I don't even know what that is.. I brought in my GIA certified center diamond I had for 15 years and found a setting that was beautiful. both ring settings (eng & band) add up to 2.50 (1.25 ea) with out the center stone. NEVER was it mentioned to me that it was enhanced until I looked at the receipt and on the so called appraisal. all the stones in the setting are enhanced.. did i by junk?? I was told by the CC I need to go have it appraised by my jeweler here in GA to see what is what.
I contacted Larrys and or course they said, well its on the receipt. but NO ONE mentioned this to me.. not at the point of sale, before or after. I traded in my old setting for a down payment so I don't think ill get it back now (thanks goodness i kept my good diamond ) so now the setting has all CE diamonds around my good one. It looks good but WTH????? is it glass ?? did I pay for nothing??
They will not call me back and I have contacted my CC company who said.. they will back me up if it does not appraise ..
any suggestions??? I too know better and my husband and I do have a clue... But not once did I look at the receipt until i got home.. I trusted them since they did good by me the first time... I'm in tears because we work hard for our money for thieves to steal from us.
PLEASE HELP with any suggestions

They are not thieves who stole from you.
You share the blame for not doing your homework prior to the purchase.
A clarity-enhanced diamond is not glass.
It is a real diamond that was treated to improve the appearance.
They are worth less, but they sell for less.
Sure, they should have told you it was CE, but you should have done your homework before buying.
When the price sounds too good to be true it IS not true.
I would not buy one but some fully-informed people are very happy to get a larger diamond for their budget, that was CE.
I'm satisfied with the not-CE diamonds that I can afford ... even though they are smaller.
