Diamonds Are Not a Guy's Best Friend

[@gracyloupicard]

I totally feel what Judge M is saying here. I had my ring cleaned a few years back and found out that somehow, my diamond has a huge chip in it. They asked if I wanted to replace it. No. It's the diamond my husband proposed with and placed on my finger again the day of our wedding. PLUS, I am not physically what I was the day I got married either, after having four beautiful children. I accept my flawed diamond completely, because I am accepted and loved with all my flaws. Chokes me up too, Judge. 💞

[@oldageisdumb]

It doesn’t matter in regards to your love/marriage but when you spend money on something so expensive (that I’m sure you get insured) you should absolutely protect that investment. If you bought a car and the dealer damaged it of course you would take legal action.

[@nBasedAce]

Actually, it is very easy to chip a diamond. A diamond is hard and resistant to scratching. That is what the hard means. But, diamonds are extremely brittle, they can be chipped very easily along the correct angles and if you smash your hand against a wall then a diamond will most likely chip.

@@Shawnacl09 Actually, rubies and sapphires have a Mohs hardness of 9. Very scratch resistant. Steel cannot scratch them. Jadeite cannot be scratched by a metal instrument either. Although jadeite is softer than diamond, it is much “tougher”, meaning it resists breakage and chipping. This is due to its tight granular structure. Many people don’t know this, but diamonds can chip if bumped hard against a hard surface. Diamonds are hard and “scratch resistant”, but not chip resistant.

I am currently a jeweler, and was a diamond wholesaler for 25 years. Diamonds can be damaged by striking something, or by being dropped. they form in layers. Think of the pages of a book. If the stone is stuck in the right place where the layers meet, they very easily chip. they are not the hardest substance in the world. As is often misquoted. They are the hardest gemstone.

[@SeekingPolymath]

7 months to engagement is exceedingly fast and may be what you reference around your first two statements. That's all I'll say about that. I respond here primarily to your "a chip no one can see" sentence. Sometimes, yes. Accept life happens and go with it. But this specific example was about ~$5k. It's likely a sizable investment for these people. The ring is a material item that the groom to-be purchased at a price based on the quality. He learned it wasn't the quality it was supposed to be and returned it. Why do either the groom to-be or the bride to-be have to be responsible for that financial loss in the quality they paid for versus the quality they received? They shouldn't. That's on the setter. So it matters more than a hill of beans. Setter didn't want to take responsibility, but now they'll have to. It's their workmanship that caused this and they'd hoped to hide behind the 10 days, never mind it was fraud because the workmanship was contracted at a higher quality than the product delivered.

7 months in, and she's dropping marriage hints. She's obviously already hit the wall, so since she's found a dude with money, she's gotta clamp him down. Imagine rejecting the ring that the man you profess to love, gave you as engagement, simply for a fault that nobody will ever see. That tells me she doesn't care about the sentimental aspect of the ring. She just wants something expensive to show off.

The issue of "he didn't get it appraised fast enough" is kind of shitty since you're not expecting a new, multi-thousand dollars purchase to have hidden issues; a buyer shouldn't be obligated to appraise it/take it to a professional ASAP in order to make sure it's up to snuff before the return policy voids, especially when the issue(s) are hidden and can only be figured out by a professional. How is a reasonable defense: "you didn't go to X professional(s) to make sure nothing was wrong with your new item in a timely fashion, so it's not my problem anymore." That'd be like buying, say, a new computer, and shortly after the return policy you take it in for some upgrades and the professional finds a defect (like a broken/improperly installed RAM slot) that had to of happened during manufacturing so you can't get the full upgrade you want, and the defense is "not our fault, you should've taken it to a computer expert right after buying it to make sure nothing was wrong with it before the return policy voided."

I'm a little confused, why did he have to have it appraised after purchasing it when surely the diamond had already been appraised before he bought it, otherwise how could he know what he was buying? A diamond that is only an SI2 clarity, is the worst quality of a diamond, and a cushion cut isn't worth as much as a round cut diamond, so he wasn't buying the best diamond, he was buying it for the size, whereas if he had bought a better clarity, round cut and smaller in size, it would have been worth more...

[@joshdavis3743]

I could be wrong, but I think it was more of a double check appraisal. He (the defendant) had it appraised by his people, now the buyer wants to have it appraised by a guy of his choice to double check. That is why if the appraisal had come back accurate the plaintiff would of eaten the costs of said appraisals, and couldn't have successfully sued for them.

@@joshdavis3743 If that was the case, you have it appraised BEFORE having it put in a ring setting. And today you shouldn't buy a diamond without a real GIA appraisal where the diamond is micro-laser engraved on the edge so you can't swap it for another diamond. This plaintiff bought from a middle man with his own meaningless appraisal, which tells you it's not legitimate and the diamond could very well have been damaged BEFORE being put in the setting. And what jeweler doesn't know how to put a diamond in a setting, but instead chips the diamond, only an amateur, that's who...

She is right. i paid $500 for each of our rings, 25 years later we are in a better financial state than we was then. We will NOT grade our rings. I did down grade a my ring due to my work. Anyone that willing to spend the price of a down payment on a home, for a piece of glass, my power to you. it’s about the status in the image for the woman it’s not about practicality in reality

He gets the ring back... Right away. But he doesn't have the money right away.

I know this episode was uploaded to YT two years ago but I feel sorry for the dude - parents have a house in Breckenridge Colorado (implied it was a vacation home), she wants a whole new ring (and probably a more expensive one) rather than the one that has meaning with it - like how is his next proposal going to beat what she felt the first time around? Going to guess this guy has signed himself up for a lifetime of big expenditures to keep her happy. If I was a betting man I'd wager she was a bit disappointed it was 'only' a $5k ring that he got her.

She takes my money, when I’m in need, yeah she’s a trifling friend indeed, oh that woman is a gold Digga, the audacity at the end though, sure get a new ring but should come out of her pocket 😬

I would love to know if the defendant sued the setter, and if he was successful or not.

I have a question. Wouldn't the diamond dealer have looked at the ring afterward to make sure the diamond was the same one before passing it on to the customer? And if he did would he have seen the flaw? Makes me wonder about my own rings after having my largest one sized...I just assumed the diamonds were not damaged.... are they still the original diamonds? Guess my sons will find out after I'm gone and they get my jewelry appraised. No daughters to hand all my jewelry down to.😞😞😞 I wanted a daughter so much! Sorry...my brain just went in a whole different direction now.

Life is more than a fancy ring

Only 7 months before the marriage? Geez, see how long that lasts.

[@passerby107]

If material things mean more to her than the thought and feeling behind it then maybe you should be taking her back instead of the ring.

Gemstones, the original NFT

Stupid appraisals. I understand people want to get their money's worth. It's about value. But at the end of the day a knick on a diamond does not take away from the marriage. It's not even visible with the naked eye. People put so much emphasis on the material. It's a pretty, shiny thing on a finger. If it's not perfect, well neither is life, and neither will your marriage be. Let it go . . .

[@alyssag.5758]

the jeweler said it will fall out

[@baboytablo5735]

let's be real. she wanted a bigger rock imo a useless rock

[@metorphoric]

This was a good case to watch

[@actuallowroller]

Beautiful ring.

[@billgoodman3537]

Milian ignores the UCC(UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE) which gives you 1 to 4 years to put in a damage claim. NOT JUST A 10 DAY RETUEN. Milian and judy constantly ignore the UCC CODE. WHIC GIVES YOU UP TO 4 YEARS TO MAKE DAMAGE CLAIMS!!!!!

[@TMS-pj7fp]

I've been married 22 yrs, I still have 1st ring he gave me, we have upgraded but I've had same upgrade for 20 yrs. I DO NOT care about the ring, my original is 1 means TME MOST.
