    I hate to say it but 200.00 for a ring for diamonds is kinda cheap... i would expect some of the stones to be CZ even 20 years ago!

    Actually I've still got the receipt which states "9ct Gold Seven Diamond Daisy Cluster Ring" £200 !!!

    Is it any consolation that you're not alone? (Becky on Corrie was impressed with her CZ in Friday's episode).

    Sorry to hear that. I doubt there's much you can do about it after all these years. I bet your hubby is glad you were with him at the time!!

    We bought my engagement ring from abroad. First thing I did was take it to a jewellers to get the diamonds verified. You would think with you purchasing form a high street retailer you would have been a little safer,
