Now, now...I think we might be judging this too harshly...Maybe the people at E-Bay monitor this site..Yeah - that's it...and they saw her ring and wanted to make one just like it...yeah - I think we're onto it now.... and they contacted her and wanted her to model it for their site and they are going to make a look-a-like and send it to a customer...see - logical! No deception here...

... I kinda feel sorry for her...----------------

Icelovr,

That's it, that's it. And it goes right in line with 'some' of the ebay vendors - ie Dublingirl's thread!

 

[icelovr]

right...

cost of 3.54 SI2, 9.76x9.59x6.00 round brillant D'Vatch set diamond - $22,350

membership fees to Pricescope to tell diamond lovers - zero

getting caught making up a story about a proposal - and the ring sold on E-Bay ... priceless.

 

[Mara]

Well it does look odd, those are even the same pictures...

But there are two differences from the GIA cert and TerpLover's post...she noted it was a G SI1, then came back and said it was an SI2. But she never said it wasn't G. The stone in the auction is an I SI2. Also, the GIA cert on the auction notes G/VG while TP notes VG/VG for her stone.

Honestly, I have to think that someone is not going to come here, register, post pictures of an eBay auction ring and make up some huge elaborate story? Also, she only checks in every few days or so, so if she really needed that kind of self-affirmation to make up a huge lie like this, wouldn't she be on here more often than that? Plus her posts seem so sincere...I don't know. The whole thing is very odd, but there is a chance that her boyfriend and/or his mother lied to her and she thinks she has this amazing ring from the grandmother. Maybe the boyfriend wanted to propose, but didn't have alot of funds so the Mom wanted to secretly help out and made up the story of the grandmother?

Very odd... but I think we should wait until she checks back in to see what she says. There are usually more scenarios than one could imagine.

If it does turn out that she was given this ring by her BF and his Mom and it was this same auction related one..(btw that eBay seller has multiple items up for sale so it's a company, not an individual just selling one ring) or a similar one, and she was lied to? Poor gal. At least her ring is still beautiful.

 

[icelovr]

True - maybe there is a logical expl. - like I said in RT - if I am wrong -I apologize in advance...

 

[monty2004]

Whoever posted the pics got them from e-bay and must know the story isn't true. If terplover posted the pics rather than her BF she presumably knows the story behind the ring

 

[almagh]

I do a routine search on ebay for "DVatche" every week or so. As soon as I saw those pictures in the auction, I knew I had seen them before. After I posted the link here it did cross my mind that she might not know and I would have felt terrible about it. But, as someone else mentioned if she posted the pictures then I think she must know. I have been reading this forum regularly for almost a year in preparation for a ten year anniversary upgrade. I never felt that I had anything to add until now. It is a strange swing of emotions to go from envying someone who received my dream ring to pity and bewilderment.

It does sound pitiful--as though she saw her "dream ring" on Ebay. When she got all that attention, my guess is that she dreamed up the rest of the story. She did have the size wrong until the dimensions were questioned.
It is a sad case but I think it does a disservice to the very kind and wonderful people on this site who took such joy in her happiness and went to the trouble of even selecting suitable wedding bands only to learn that the photos and description were from a ring still on sale on Ebay. One would think she would have at least changed some of the dimensions.

 

[glitterata]

This is the internet. People dream, they try out different identities, they make up stories. It's not that uncommon. I don't find it particularly shocking or disturbing. If she'd been trying to sell somehting, that would be another story.

 

[glitterata]

quadruple post--so sorry!

 

[glitterata]

Deleting duplicate post.

 

[glitterata]

[Mara]

Just because she posted the pictures doesn't mean she knows, either. Possibly her boyfriend said those were pictures taken on his mother's hand. Not everyone uses eBay and/or has searches setup (though I do..hehee)...so we really don't know yet what happened, but I hate to see judgement come to pass before TL even has a chance to speak up...

 

[innerkitten]

Is this the post everyone was talking about?

 

[icelovr]

yup.

 

[icelady]

This is the "liar, liar" post. Check out the ebay site that was posted earlier in the thread. Same identical pics as in the first post on this thread.

We are all awaiting Terplover's reply.

 

[icelady]

SORRY! Double Post!!!! Seems to happen regularly on this thread.

 

[phoenixgirl]

Since the pictures were posted before she "got engaged," that cannot be her finger.

And she probably wouldn't have "realized" that she had given the wrong specs if she hadn't been caught in an inconsistency.

Beats me what the motive might be . . . .

Ah, you know, I've seen worse than this. On Yahoogroups there's monthly due date clubs for women pregnant and EVERY list I joined would have a woman (or man!) pretending to be pregnant. Their stories would be extremely eleborate, so detailed in fact, that usually the tale couldn't be kept straight and they'd get caught just as this person may have been.

Who knows what the deal is, but a troll on PS isn't that big of a surprise. With everyone posting happy tales, it's not beyond reason to speculate that a person would want to feel apart of a group by eleborating a proposal that they too have recently had. . . and what a ring to do so with. Nice choice!

But, hopefully we're all wrong and if so, big apologies to TL! Guess we'll find out sooner or later if she posts again. . .

Thanks to an observant member who emailed my company and alerted us to this
confusion, I am able to write and put a stop to this confusion. All of the
pieces on my store are ready made and what you click on to order is exactly
what you will be receiving. This 3.54ct round brilliant with measurements
9.76 - 9.89 x 6.00 which is set in the D'Vatche original platinum Royal
Crown setting is the only such ring which is posted on my eBay store:
http://stores.ebay.com/La-Rouche-Diamonds The finger which the ring was
taken on belongs to that of my assistant Ms. Doherty who has been working
with my company for quite a long time. Ms. Doherty also happens to think
that she has a unique finger which she can recognize anywhere! J I would
like the thoughtful person who made me aware of this situation to please
email me back so I can send him/her a gift certificate for my eBay store.
While forums like these are so great, I am sorry that such a person can get
on and lie when so many real people have wonderful stories to tell. Such a
person makes a mockery of the beautiful affair of engagements and family
histories.
