Had an inherited ring appraised.....one the giver said was real.....the recipient (now deceased) believed it to be real and a gift of love many years ago. found out it is an average, common CZ made from china....the appraiser looked at it for three seconds and said it was a cheep fake and typical style of the fake rings....got two appraisals just to be sure...Cheep fake from a dishonest person. The truth always comes out and the true character of a person is always exposed. What a cad.

CB is a friend of mine. DWC looks familiar but it's not a good pic and we're not mutual friends so I don't want to butt into their conversation but it did interest me.

If I was CB's aunt and if I liked jewelry and a man gave me a ring and told me that it was worth $4,000 it would be worth $4,000. Especially if I didn't want or need to sell the ring and I kept it until the day I died. If I loved the ring that much it would be priceless. It wouldn't matter what an appraiser said.

I really don't get why CB is calling the ring 'fake' it's not a fake ring. It's a real ring and the recipient was obviously happy with it.

I don't know the ring giver but IMO the way she calls him dishonest and a cad speaks poorly of CB. There's no way for her to know that he didn't give that ring with the purest intentions and it sounds like whoever he was he made some woman very happy if she kept that ring and talked about it the way she obviously did. Sounds to me like someone is disappointed that they didn't get to cash it in.

SM -That original person died enjoying the thought that someone cared about her enough to give her a beautiful piece of jewelry. Perhaps that is all that matters.

I see both sides. Who knows, maybe the recipient KNEW it was a fake but didn't want others to know it. I just think it is stupid to put stuff like this on facebook because it shows more about who the poster is. I am sure that she cherishes it less now that she knows it has little monetary value. If she held the sentimental value over the monetary her post would have been different. She would have said, despite finding out the stone is a fake from the appraiser, the ring itself will hold value to me the same.

My grandmother's engagement ring was CZ. My grandfather saved up to be able to buy her that ring. She cherished it her entire life and wore it with pride. She knew it was not a 'real diamond', but then, the expensiveness of the stone was never part of the value to her.         

ITA.  If someone gives me a gift I don't worry about how much they paid for it/ the value of it unless my intention is to sell it.  Since Aunty never wanted to sell the ring it doesn't matter how much it cost.

It's like saying, "I love you so much I bought a FOUR THOUSAND dollar ring for you!!! (but really...I decided I'd rather keep my money and spend as little as possible but still get treated as if I sacrificed a lot for you)".

If Aunty treats her man better because he gives her expensive gifts than she does if he gives her what he can afford then I think less of her too.  Maybe she trained the guy to lie to her because lies were what made her happy.

This reminds me of a not-close relative whose husband gave her a wedding ring he said was a family heirloom. It turned out to be base metal, not gold, and not an heirloom.

I remember when she showed me the ring I thought it didn't look real or old, but she was happy and it was none of my business. She told me later that she found out he lied about it and that made her very unhappy, which I can understand. It's not whether the ring was of monetary value, it's the disrespect shown in trying to fool someone you love about tis origins or its value.

And I guess I can relate to feeling a bit outraged on behalf of the grandmother, especially if the person who gave it was dishonest in other ways, but the tone of the complaint suggests at least as much ire about having inherited something worthless as that.
