Glass filled ruby … unavoidable?

I encourage you to post the vendor’s name, maybe once your return is secured. Given the deliberate carat and treatment misrepresentation and their unpleasant service, helping others avoid them is a kind thing to do. I think honest reviews are hard to come by and really valuable for members and other readers. Good luck finding your ring!

Long story short. I purchased this ruby eternity ring online. It was sold as “not glass filled” according to the vendor. The price is not outrageous since he was reseller who likes to buy from estate sale auction house etc and resell it for “a steal”.

Anyway, it is pretty to look at I must admit but there were bubbles under the x30 loupe. When I asked him about it, he did not deny trying to fool me but offer a refund.

I check blue Nile and apparently their rubies are treated with glass as well.
So it’s everywhere?

Tell me I’m crazy but I actually do love the ring and I’m wondering that for this ring, what is the true value so that I’ll be okay with keeping it.

okay so it’s in 14k eternity ring and a total of 15cts

I’m not familiar with California’s laws, but here in Michigan what he did would be considered fraud. If they give you any pushback about refunding your money in full, I would go to your local police department and file a report. He’ll change his tune when a detective comes calling.
