Just got engaged but...?

I agree with what the first person said about not starting your marriage off with lies. This kind of problem comes up a lot in married life. One person buys orange juice. The other one says, "That's not juice. Look at the label: it says 10% juice." Then the other one says, "But I grew up with this stuff. It's my favorite brand."

Most jewelers have a 30-day return policy, sometimes 60 days, sometimes 7 days. Return just means you can exchange it for something else. I would do that.

If I were you, I would exchange it for a diamond that's GIA certified, and spend a few hours on the internet learning about what to look for. Besides the four Cs (carats, color, clarity, and cut) there's also polish and symmetry, fluorescence, and culet size (if any). At least those are the basics.

A GIA certificate doesn't mean the diamond is any good, just that it's what they say it is in terms of color, clarity, etc. If a flaw like the one you see is important, the GIA would give the diamond a lower clarity rating. AGS and HRD-Antwerp are the other two certificates that are just as good.

IGI and EGL-USA are second-rate certificates.

EGL-International is third rate. EGL-Israel has the worst reputation of all the EGL labs.

A diamond with no certificate, just a jewelers' report, could have all kinds of problems. For example, all the major grading labs first check to see if a diamond is synthetic or has been altered in any way. If it has any of those problems, they won't even issue a certificate.

If you are marrying this guy, then you ought to be able to talk to him. If you can't talk to him, then don't marry him.

You had every right to go to the jeweler - not only because you noticed a scratch, but also because you should've gotten it appraised so that you could get it insured.

I would tell him that you had a jeweler check it out because you noticed a scratch and didn't want it to get damaged, and then show him the report. Then figure out what you want to do (get it repaired, pick out a new diamond, whatever).

He might get mad that he didn't do his research, but he shouldn't be mad at YOU. You've done nothing wrong, and he's wrong to get insulted if you tell him that you want to protect the ring. If he takes this out on you, then don't marry him.

The era which you're making plans a marriage is engagement. So if you are going to get married, you have been engaged. regardless of if, you do no longer would desire to do the entire ring or social gathering factor. this is very own decision. in simple terms tell your mom and dad around now which you're making plans on being married in a pair of years, yet do no longer prefer an engagement ring or social gathering. i'm helpful they are going to understand. ~ A ~

You are obligated to take your ring to the jeweler that he bought it from for maintenance if he got insurance which usually comes with the purchase. Bring it to their attention in 3 months when you have to bring it in anyway.

If this is not the case then I would tell him that you want him to come with you to take the ring back to the store and have them look at it. Let him know that you want to make sure it is not a crack.

You know I would tell him only because the same thing happened to me and my now husband understood and took it back and was asking questions enough that they told him that they would do a fair exchange for the ring and the ring I have now is better than the last one and to make sure that it was real we took it to 3 different jewelry places.

Be honest - Just say that you love the diamond but would be so hurt if it broke and got lost.

Wouldn't it say on the receipts you saw where the ring was purchased? Just take it there yourself.

You don't want to start your marriage off with lies. Just tell him. It's better to be honest.
