Yeah the swapping happened to a lady in London. She sent it for cleaning. The jeweller swapped her 20,000 pound diamond for a moissanite. She only realised this the next time she went to clean it at another jeweller. When she went back to find the original jeweller he was OUT OF BUSINESS. I do not trust anyone with my diamond. Clean your diamond jewellery at home. You do not need to give it to a jeweller because you will never be able to check if they swapped it. Dish washing liquid and warm water with a baby toothbrush is good enough for cleaning.

Cnith TheOnliestOne What's the point of paying for something that could be replaced without ever noticing unless you write your name on it? What if i swapped your car out with one that cost 1/1000th as much money, and you couldn't tell ANY difference at all because you didn't write your name on it? WHO CARES? The real crime is being stupid enough to pay multiple times more for the same car. Diamonds are not a smart currency. They're like beanie babies for rich people.

The best ways to prevent these things is to go to an independent jewelry store that has been in business for a long time and has a great reputation. Jewelers who do these things will quickly go out of business. There are so many mom and pop jewelry stores out there who would NEVER even think of doing anything like this. In fact, many bend over backwards to give the best prices and deliver excellence beyond the customer's expectations. Finding a good independently owned jeweler you can count on will save you money, honor your pieces and give you a little education in the process.

This happens with gold too. When my father died, my mother wanted his wedding ring resized for her to wear. It was then over 85 year old pre-war European gold. They would not do it while she waited. What she received when she picked it up was not his ring. There were no identifying marks on a simple but hefty gold band, but the color of the gold was different and not attributable to cleaning as they claimed. She raised a ruskus in the store, they threatened to call the police and she said she would, and did, right there. Ultimately there was no proof but she was hustled over her dead spouse's ring.

Stay away from inexperienced so called jewelers that have no training, no customer service experience, no retail experience and no store front, a genuine Jeweler will invest in his store before he opens the doors to the general public. don't trust bad neighborhoods, or those that work out of their homes, garages, and basements. Good work is not cheap, and cheap work is no good.

My mothers friend took her very high quality diamond to a well known jeweler for resetting. The diamond returned to her was visibly different. When she complained they told her that cleaning the diamond had revealed inclusions she may have not seen when it was dirty. She couldn’t prove it was swapped by them because she had lost the paperwork with the inscription number.

One thing he didn't mention is, A. Diamonds are not rare which we were told and brainwashed into believing. And B. They have zero worth upon resale. If you had to try and sell it later down the line, you get peanuts for it. Regardless of what you paid for it. They depreciate the second you buy them. I suggest skipping the diamonds all together, and go for moissanite, white sapphires or rubies instead.

Make sure it self-destructs in case of divorce.

I purchased a 1.01 carat loose diamond on eBay from one vendor and a mounting with 1.51 carats of diamonds from another vendor. Everything turned out perfect. I did take both items to my local jeweler, not only to make sure I received what I paid for but also to set the stone in the mounting. He was totally impressed at the price I paid and actually wanted to buy the stone from me. Nevertheless, before I even thought of shopping for a diamond online I thoroughly educated myself on diamonds. I found sites on KZbin which taught me what I needed to know, what to look out for, etc. It took a bit of learning but had I not done it I would not have been able to buy my stone and mounting online. It was worth it to me to educate myself.

Thank you so much for this video! I had a ring that I absolutely adored and when I took it to the jeweler they swapped my stone. I had a marquise and they swapped it, but luckioh my friend noticed it (she's a jeweler).. I went straight over there the next morning when I noticed the change that night. They of course denied it and said I was rude, but what they don't know is that I had photos of that ring before I took it there. They offered a free clean up and put in a marquise. The sad thing is that the marquise they put in is very low grade and yellow. After watching your videos I think now I can firmly say I will hopefully never get my gems swapped again. Thank you

GIA Diamonds Graduate here and 25 years in the biz. Don't think just because someone has been in business for a long time they are "reputable". 99.9% of people have no idea about diamonds and jewelers know it, so most every crooked action goes unnoticed/reported/aired. They all play the "catch me if you can" game. I've never met so many bullshitters, liars and thieves in an industry. Auto mechanics, computer techs, building contractors, real estate agents, etc. have nothing on people in the jewelry business. I'm a state licensed general contractor and real estate broker too.

It's sad that the jewellery business has so many crooks today. I made jewelry and worked in a jewelry store 50 years ago. Honesty and ethical behavior was taken for granted then. I would often buy semiprecious stones from another jeweller. He would open his safe, hand me a couple of trays of stones, wrapped in paper, and leave me there while he tended his store. I would pick out the stones I wanted, pay him, and leave. I never even thought of pocketing the diamonds or other valuable stones that were in his open safe. Honesty between jewellers and to customers was the rule then. Things have changed because people have come here from 3rd world countries where scams and trickery are part and parcel of their trade. What is accepted in their home countries is fraud and illegal here.

Right? If there is no way to tell once the diamond is installed, then what fucking difference does it make? Stop buying into the hype of collector mentalities. Why on earth would you want to walk around with a valuable collectible that you are not capable of differentiating from a worthless rock? Even if they sell you a real one, they are taking advantage of your stupidity.

There are a few reasons for their price, but they are not actually rare. They are only rare 'on the market', because there is monopoly on them. But there are millions more diamonds on earth that won't hit the market to keep prices up. Diamonds have been branded and we are made to believe that we should desire them.

I have unfortunately had a diamond swapped after a ring resize. Thankfully my husband had a matching ring with the same quality diamonds as before. When I spoke to the jeweller they weren't interested in picture evidence between my new stones and my husband's and took the ring back in for new diamonds. The 'replacements' are a better stone than previously swapped but still not quite the same as I had before.

Engraved stones need to be at least a certain ct weight to have a girdle, which is thick enough to be engraved. .85 or .90ct is about the smallest stones that are engraved.
