OXFORD DIAMOND - OXFORD INC - GOLD & DIAM Bait on switch scam with diamonds on EBAY

Steve at Oxford Diamond Co is a scam artist. He advertises very high quality diamonds on EBAY and sends bogus appraisals to make consumers feel as if they got a good deal.in reality the diamonds are very low grade and do not appraise for any where near what Steve claims they will. He

I bought a diamond engagement ring from Oxford Diamond Co on 1/1/08. This ring was listed as having an F color center stone with 88 side diamonds of E/F color. The center stone was advertised as an SI2 and sides VS1/VS2 for clarity. (both color and clarity advertised where very good).

When I received this ring it was yellow to the naked eye, very strange for an F colored center stone. I took it to an appraiser with 20 years experience who is certified by many world leading diamond appraisal groups.

It turns out the diamond is 4 shades off on color, clarity is not even close and 3 of the 88 side stones where missing. The side stones where stated as being VS1/VS2 clarity, they were actually commercial grade diamonds with tons on nasty inclusions. Oxford typed up an appraisal that a kid could have made on Microsoft Word in about 20 minutes. They appraised my yellow diamond at $16,000, it is actually only worth $4,500!

When I contacted Steve at Oxford he said there would be no problem with a return as he refunded over $600,000 in 2007. Seems to be a trend here I guess! He did take the ring back after I threatened him with a lawsuit for consumer fraud. He insists that my appraiser was wrong about the diamond. I'm not a jeweler but I know an F colored diamond should not be yellow to the naked eye!

The bottom line with Oxford Diamond Co is they bait and switch their diamonds. They advertise very high quality diamonds, but send customers low quality, commercial grade diamonds hoping people will not get an appraisal. Obviously a lot of people don't judging by their feedback.

Steve had the nerve to ask for positive feedback after trying to scam me on low grade diamond. He also retaliates negative feedback with a negative of his own.

Please contact me if you have had a similar experience with Oxford Diamond Co, as I am considering legal action against this thief.interesting enough he is trying to sell the diamond I returned as a G color now. Still about 3 shades off Steve!
