      Unfortunately the police do little to nothing about stolen property of any kind, anywhere in the USA anymore. I've had unbelievable amounts of strongarm burglaries , and stolen property over the years. People have to have a way of their own in order to try and get their stolen jewelry or other valuable goods returned to them.

    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.

      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.

I took it off his finger after he passed and washed it. It had a rosy gold tone and maybe that luster was patina but what came back lacked luster and was yellowish white and thinner somehow. Doesn't matter any more though.

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.

      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 TH-cam 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.

    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.

    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

    I went with a friend who is in the jewelry business to a jewelry repairman in the industrial district. I watched him repair the ring right in front of me. No problem.
    Also have had it professionally cleaned; again done right in front of me. The only way you should leave it with a jeweler is if it is a trusted one as in a friend or long term relationship.
    Any jeweler that rips off their clients needs to have their face rearranged!

    In addition to have knowledge about diamond quality yourself, I honestly believe it is very important to find a jeweler you can trust and build a strong customer relationship with. It takes some time, research and luck to find one but in the end it is worth it. Even bigger names in the diamond traders maket can be partially frauds.

    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.

    Diamonds are beautiful. I would not spend a fortune to get one. To spend thousands on a stone a person would have to have alot of money. More to them. But for most of us , it's out of reach. It doesn't mean that when shopping for a smaller diamond precautions should be ignored. Regardless of price, it's important to get what you are told the diamond is and to check carefully. It's your money.

    • @awhodothey
      @awhodothey 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Lab made diamonds look exactly like natural diamonds, but are much cheaper than natural diamonds when you buy them used. There is no reason whatsoever for most people to buy expensive diamonds. You are paying for a rarity that you can't even know unless you pay someone to verify it. Expensive diamond collecting has nothing at all to do with beauty (at the human eye level.)

    • @a.salmon8193
      @a.salmon8193 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great Moose Detective it is true about lab diamonds but they are not readily available in the marketplace. Other lab created stones are, like emeralds, sapphires and rubies. It's very expensive to buy a large diamond which is ridiculous since it's only carbon that mother nature pressurized for millions of years. Best left to the buyer. It's not important to me but it certainly is to others.

    • @a.salmon8193
      @a.salmon8193 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great Moose Detective I know they are available but it depends where you live. In Montréal it is difficult to find a jeweler who can order them. I found one that actually carries a few. Maybe in time and with demand they will be more available here. In the United States the market is bigger than Canada. I know that some people have them made with a small amount of cremains present as a family heirloom. Not my cup of tea but to each their own.

    • @awhodothey
      @awhodothey 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      A. Salmon
      Any jeweler can order them. You can order them. They just want to sell you something more expensive so they can take a larger cut every step of the way. Many jewelers are invested in natural diamonds, and they don't want to see lab diamonds cut into the market value of what they already own.

  • @dashursaqqara436

    This is TRUE - my sister took her diamond wedding ring in the jeweller used for 35yrs. The worker, who had been there for 25+ yrs, swapped out her better quality diamond. Upon return to her, she noticed it didn't "look" the same.
    She took it back and had the owner look at it and the swap was discovered. Owner must have laid a trap for that worker and discovered the worker had been doing this to customers. Naturally, worker was fired and owner replaced my sister's diamond to the original quality.

It is really well known jeweller for reputation too. There are almost no honest seller in the world even big companies. Buyer need to know some knowledge too.

    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.
