Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it. The seller didn't tell me it was an opal though, he said it was a moonstone. But I should never ever have paid that amount for a ring that was so black (I could barely read the 925-stamp) and had so many flaws. Unfortunately I won't be getting my money back, he didn't give me a receipt(what was I thinking, really! This guy can't be trusted)
The seller also sells secondhand designer bags and has a lot of publicity in our local newspaper/local magazines, but now I wonder if those bags are authentic, if he's capable of selling me a completely worthless ring..
Many thanks to everyone for their comments, time to buy a new ring to forget about this one
I'm so sorry! It might be worth a complaint to the Better Business Bureau. Would it hurt to just ask for your money back? It might be worth a try. I'm guessing his bags may be counterfeits.
It's still a cute ring. I just hate that he told you it was real.
