Hello everyone,
I bought this “Morganite” ring about a year or so ago and the jeweler told me it was a morganite, stating that it was rare and a real buy and that it was worth so much more. I paid $2100 thinking I was buying an investment piece. Because I have not worn it and wanted to sell it on Ebay, I had the stone tested by a gemologist a couple of weeks ago (tested it - refractive, I think) and she said it was a Kunzite and approx 5 carats. I took it back to my jeweler and they told me again it was a Morganite and gave me an appraisal for $2800 - 13.5 x 13.5 x 9.5 mm with vs2 / h diamonds. I am beside myself and am taking it to have it formally appraised on Friday. The jeweler I bought it from always "exaggerates" things to get you to buy them. This was from an estate (he said) and he said I was getting a fabulous deal. I think it is about 5 carats and I have attached a copy of the ring and but could not upload a copy of the appraisal. Don''t know what to think. Any advice? Thanks!
