I bought a 1.03 ct SI2 G diamond from Brilliance.com with the following specs:
GIA #15848519
6.47 - 6.49 x 4.00 mm
1.03 ct
color G
clarity Si2
Cut Grade Excellent
Depth 61.7
Table 56
Crown Angle 43.5
Crown Height 15%
Pavilion Angle 40.8
Pavilion Depth 43%
Girdle Thin to medium faceted
Polish Excellent
Symmetry Excellent
Florescence None
$4000.00
It had a feather which was visible under magnification which extended from one end of the table to the other and some needles and pinpoints. I didn''t mind the inclusions as I was looking for a great cut and the stone was so sparkly and quite beautiful. I took it to my jeweler whom I have known for 10 years and he does great work. After I brought it home from being set, I noticed that the feather had worked its way up through the surface and now there is a palpable crack across the table. I took it back to the jeweler and he assured me he didn''t do anything unusual to the stone. We called Brilliance and spoke with the manager, and he insisted it was the jewelers fault. He flatly refused to help me at all. I asked Brilliance specifically if there were any durability issues with this stone before I purchased it and they said, "We don''t sell stones like that." All my jeweler says he can do for me is see if it can be polished away or maybe recut. Do I have any recourse at all here!. I am sick. I have waited 30 years to have my diamond upgraded and finally saved the money, and now this. Can anyone advise me. With appreciation, Sally
