I am new to these forums only finding out about them from a friend AFTER my husband purchased me a new ER from Fay Cullen in the US (I am in Sydney Australia).
My husband purchased a 1.01ct H SI2 in an antique setting from Fay Cullen, which is stunning. Only problem is I was assured that the stone was eye clean from one of the employees before it was sent but now that it''s here it is most definitely not. I could live with almost any inclusion except the big black variety that really stand out at you even from a distance, which is what this one is.
A few questions..
I paid $4500 US for the ring (which also has 22 tiny little diamonds in it as well) but am wondering what a more realistic price would be taking the very visible inclusion into consideration (I''m just after a rough idea, obviously you guys can''t value it).
What is the policy in the US for returning faulty items which aren''t what they''re supposed to be?
Could any of you live with a diamond with a visible black inclusion? It seems to be the first part my eye is drawn to every time I look at it.
Any other advice for me??
Getting the ring back to the US is an expensive process and I know FC''s return policy isn''t great. If we return it and they don''t want to accept liability we are $800 out of pocket.
A link to the ring is here..

I''m wondering if I should ask for a discount on the stone and just live the inclusion??
What does everyone think??
