Michael:As per conversion between my husband xxxxxx and you this morning, here is how and where I got the ring from.
I bought a 1.07 ct solitaire brilliant cut diamond engagement ring claw set from XXXXXXXX.com.au (ID143333) on 13/05/09.
All products on this website are sold as auction.
In product description, it clearly stated the diamond weight, colour, clarity and total weight. It also attached valuation certificate.
On the certificate, it provided photo, diamond weight, colour, clarity and weight as well as valuation. The certificate is provided by jewellery provider which is XXXXX hand crafted designs.
The bid finished at 4.30pm on 13/05/09 and I got a confirmation letter from XXXXXXXX on the same day, please find attached.
The winning bid was $2259 and the buyers premium is 15% of the winning bid (it was stated on the website), which was $338.85.
I also paid $60 for freight.
They took the money from my credit card and sent me paid invoice by email on the same day. Please find attached.
I got an email regarding delivery details on 14/05/09 and i got the ring on 15/05/09. But the ring was not what i expected at all and I did not believe the ring worth the value that on the certificate and the money I spent.
As the incorrect valuation and certificate I am going to return my product and ask for the money back. In order to avoid same thing happens on other customers, I strongly suggest some actions need to be done.
It will be very much appreciated if you can look into this case and protect this market.
Please contact me on xxxxxxxx or email to xxxxxxxx@msn.com if you need more information.
Below is the contact detail for xxxxxxx.

To Add insult to injury the diamond which was then checked by the DCLA was treated and the treatment was not disclosed as seen on the FGAA qualified valuer on his Valuation Certificate.
