Multi Auction Services Invaluable Auctions Deceptive/Fradulent Advertising Practices Commerce California

I recently purchased a ring at auction. Once I finally received it two months later I took it to my jeweler for an appraisal. He said it was in fact not up to the quality it was advertised to be at purchase nor was the gemology report that came with the ring accurate.

In fact they were both (the auction advertisement and gemology report received with the ring) way off! It was advertised as an SI white diamond... with I-J color.

The appraisal I received said it was at BEST I-1 yellow stone with L-M Color with many inclusions that were visible to the naked eye.

Just to make sure, I took it to another jeweler just to have it looked at to get a second opinion and he confirmed what the appraisal had said as well. They advertised a ring at auction at a much higher quality, cut and color than what they were selling.  This was an online auction so I assumed that the gemology report and the picture provided were accurate.  I had to pay to get an appraisal to prove to them that they had provided me with a fradulent gemology report so I'm out another $95.00 for that as well.

Buyer beware, the "gemologist" report they provide in order to auction these diamonds off is not necessarily accurate! Will never make this mistake again!!
