I am trying to sell this beautiful engagement ring that has never been worn! Bought it for my girlfriend but it didn't work out and now I'm trying to recover some of the money I spent on it.
So enough of the bad stuff on to the good stuff:
Like I said, this ring was bought brand new and never worn!. I had it appraised today and the appraiser said the retail price is $3000 (I paid about that after tax). He even commented on how beautiful the stone was.
THIS RING IS CERTIFIED! That's right this ring has been examined and certified by the International Gemological Institute for its authenticity and great quality. The stone has been laser inscribed with a serial number (not visible to the naked eye) that is printed alongside the ring's information on the certificate of authenticity that is included. You can use this serial number to register the ring if you want. That way if it is ever lost or stolen, that number can be used to assist in tracking it down. The number can also be looked up to find the stone's origin I think (I have never tried this myself). So now on to the details as shown on the certificate:
Shape: Round (very traditional and beautiful)
Weight: 0.71 Carets
Color: Colorless (F) - I really wanted this in a diamond because there is no color hint at all. The stone is extremely clear of yellowish colors.)
Clarity: I(1) - This means there is only one inclusion in the stone that is visible to the naked eye, HOWEVER it is on the side near a prong and not on the surface so without a microscope it is impossible to see.
Polish/Symmetry: Very Good/Very Good
Treatment: None
Band Size: 6.45 (a VERY common female ring size)
Description: One 14 KT yellow gold band (ring) containing one natural diamond set in platinum.
With this ring I am including the original Certificate of Authenticity, and application to register the serial number, a glossary of abbreviations, and a prepaid envelope to mail the registration if you decide to do that. All of these papers are small and fit into the clear packet that the certificate is in. I recently took this to a Kay Jewelers and had them inspect it and make sure everything was in tiptop shape, including the mounting, and quality. They also verified that the serial numbers match up. Another good thing to know is that Kay Jewelers will happily clean this ring for you any time you take it to them and ask. It is free, takes about 5 minutes, and keeps your ring looking beautiful year after year. Please help me sell this ring so I can start moving on with my life. Feel free to message me with ANY questions about the ring. I and several witnesses, along with my 100% rating guarantee that this ring is authentic.
Thanks and Happy Bidding!

Just to let everyone know, due to the quality of this ring, there is a relatively high reserve set on it. But is still a few hundred less than half of what i paid for it so it's still a really good deal!

the Stone is VERY clear and not cloudy at all! It is set high enough up that the light gets to all angles!
