Century diamonds Daras Diamonds, Daras Diamonds I should have know before giving my credit card Culver City California

I wanted to give my wife a pair of diamond earrings for Christmas,  I am not a big shopper and figured this was a product i could buy on line at a relitive discount because the online stores would not have the big jewlery store overhead.  I did som research and found a lot of good reviews about Century Diamonds ( Most of which i have now found out were self promoted by them.)

I ordered accordingly based on the guide they had and figured I was going to get a couple of nice diamonds based on the quality i selected and the comments of the order processor when i called to confirm.  i place the order thnking they would ship that day as I paid extra for 2 day shipping.  it turns out they did not ship for a 4 days which if i would have known it would be that long i would not have paid extra shipping charges. to get to the point of this report - when the diamonds did arrive i anchously opend the box to what 3 weeks pay looks like and I was shocked to find two milk colored dull stones.  they did not even look any diamond i have ever seen. 

when I called i was told they are real and they "conform to the grade selected"  i said I needed to return them and get credit so I can buy my wife a real gift - they kept trying to sell me up to a more expensive product and them reluctanlty gave me a return number.  I sent the return to be tracked ant signed for and I am glad I did because it have been a week and when i followed up to see where the return is at they acted like they never recieved it. i then made it clear some one signed for it and i had all of my documentation and all of a sudden they said it in fact had been recieved and is now being reviewed.  I will believe the return when i actually see it on my credit card statment but at this point I do not have high hopes.  in the future i will pay extra and only buy from reputable stores that have a location I can goto if there are problems.
