EGL CERTIFICATE INDIA

[Sensy]

Hi
Can anyone help me with information about EGL CERTIFICATE INDIA
My husband bought me a diamond ring from WARREN JAMES UK and they gave us a EGL certificate, I tried a lot of times to check it and can’t found any info about. Contact their customer service and they gave me eglindia.com for checking. I’m a bit disappointed about this purchase and how genuine is this diamond
Any info will be very welcome
Thank you

So it is a ring with nine round diamonds within it?

EGL are less reliable than GIA and AGS in terms of consistency when it comes to colour/clarity grading, but in this instance, that report appears to not be a report on the individual stone, but more a description of the item for sales and insurance purposes, I would say.

What do you mean when you say you are disappointed with the purchase? I am sure the stones are diamonds, but their performance might well not be 'good'.

If you are disappointed with the stones, speak with your husband and ask if he is ok with returning it and picking something else out.
Might need to find a delicate way to say it though.

Stores sell crappy diamonds. I dont think you need to do any more research on it. Just find a way to return it.

Warren James is not known for selling high end jewellery IMHO.

I too believe the stones are real diamonds, just may not be that good in performance as mentioned by @OoohShiny (both of us are based in UK).

The thing is that they are not doing refunds and all diamonds that they have are this certification. I don’t have really on what exchange . The thing I want to know is if anyone knows about this kind of certificates and if this ring it’s worth the money that he pay

Yes it is...disappointed that when they are selling they are not talking about this certificates. And when I’m trying to get any info is very hard like we are playing hide and seek with them. No refunds and no better jewellery in their shop

I had a look at their online store, and cannot find the exact same spec as the OP's ring.

However, I was able to find one similar in style with 9 diamonds, 9K White Gold, 0.25cttw, H-I Colour, I1 to I2 Clarity, at a reduced price of 359 GBP.

Similar ring could be found in the online shop for Argos at a higher price of 399 GBP.

I would say these prices are about right for diamond jewellery in the high street in UK.

(Hence I have not bought any jewellery in UK for the past 20 years or so!!!)

That "certficate" is a document for the whole ring, not for the diamonds. It tells or certifies nothing about the diamonds. Notice it is a "report of diamond JEWELLERY".
I also did some researching and found the ring online. It appears that the company is similar to Michael Hill in AUS, CAN and USA.
Sorry to say this but the ring is made from 9k gold, the diamonds are worthless and the certificate is meaningless. Enjoy the ring as is.

I was going to say it looks like a fake EGL certificate, there is an EGL India it's usually a few grades incorrect in colour and usually one or two or more in clarity. So you have a probably white but really included diamond, with a poor cut.

This is the ring darling, I’m not saying that something is wrong with price, I’m asking about quality if someone’s know

Thanks for encouraging ‍

You might try taking it back in and seeing if you can exchange it for the same ring but one that possibly looks like it has less included stones
and possibly better cut? In other words, one where the diamonds look a little more pleasing to you.

You said this in response to exchanging it a few post back, " I don’t have really on what exchange", and I dont know what that means?

This is what you requested, whether the PRICE was fair for G-H colour, I1 clairity and Good cut, in 9ct gold (gold content included in the cert BTW).

I would say the price is fair for the diamonds as stated on the cert, for UK retail prices.

I meant not better rings on this price, even with less stones...but thank you btw

 

[lovedogs]

I do not think the stones are very high quality, unfortunately. Do I think it is worth the price? No, probably not. But if there is no way to return then I am not sure what else can be done.

 

[arkieb1]

No it's a ring with a poor quality centre stone or all stones in general, no, it's not good value at all. Stones with a poor cut return less fire and sparkle to the human eye, stones that are heavily included return less fire and sparkle to the human eye.....What else do you need to know?

 

[rockhoundofficiando]

It's a 9 diamond illusion, cluster setting. The diamonds are not high quality (I1,I2) but are likely genuine. The "certificate" is just a marketing tool. It doesn't actually describe the diamonds nor add any value.

If you are unable to return or exchange the ring, and instead choose to keep it, clean it regularly so that the diamonds can perform as well as they can and the illusion setting can reflect light nicely.

I'm sorry to say I would be disappointed too if my husband bought this for that price, mainly because there are so many amazing pieces on eBay alone that I would buy for the same price or less. Unfortunately the high street shops sell poor quality diamonds for a lot of money (though they often have sales...) but succeed in selling to people who don't know much about diamonds. The stones are genuine but not super amazing. I1/2 stones still sparkle though so if you like the ring overall, enjoy it for what it is. Personally I would ask for an exchange and get some diamond studs. It doesn't matter as much with earrings if the stones are included IMO.
