Looking for help with a yellow diamond...created?

[shydogpom]

Hi All,

I have only purchased real diamonds for my wife, but was wondering what your thoughts were with this Ebay diamond? Could this be CZ? Anyone know anything about this NY jewelry store?

Thanks for any help/comments you could offer.

I wouldn't do it. Way too risky.
1. Looks like a kindergartner photoshop job as though the picture of the diamond was stolen off a legitimate website, then tacked on to another stolen setting picture.
2. No GIA lab report to prove that the diamond is the real (not a synthetic or simulant)
3. No GIA lab report to prove that the diamond isn't treated as stated.

Thanks. The seller does say the diamond is "created" but what the heck does that mean? The seller is Limor Jewelers in NY

Under "Item Specifics", it states that the main stone is "not enhanced" yet the description of "canary created" seems contradictory. Given the ridiculously low price for a 6 carat yellow diamond and setting for $3500, I am inclined to believe that this is a treated yellow diamond, most likely to be irradiated.

Notice that it is described as "created center stone" with "side diamonds". It is described as a "diamond engagement ring" but it is never stated that the center stone itself is a diamond. Also the very silly claim that it "cannot be treated in any way, shape, or form, to get a better shine". What does that even mean? They certainly are not claiming that it's "untreated".

As a "created" stone of that size it couldn't be a diamond anyway since lab created diamonds do not exist in such large sizes. Run away, surely a CZ or worse.

As I thought....too good to be true. Thanks to all the comments on this!

Just looking for a large yellow diamond, which doesn't have to be "prefect" in order to get the price lower.

Since in the description they describe it as a "Canary Lab Created" stone, I took it on face value that it was synthetic. Seems straightforward to me, but maybe I'm missing something...
