Thanks ladies! Yes I thought about that when I was in the store, and you are probably right that he was just being polite. But when he was talking he kept say diamond/diamonds. So it made me think that he didn't look that hard, he just couldn't tell, or he was just really nice.

Hi Ladies, So a few days ago I posted some pics of my new engagement ring. It is a .75 ct MIRA in a BTD Timeless Halo setting. Anyway today I passed by a local jewelry store and I decided to pop in and look at their wedding bands. The owner was the one who was working. We got to talking and him and his wife have been designing and selling engagement rings for over thirty years! I told him I was looking for a platinum band and he asked to see me ring. I took it off and he looked at it under the loop. He commented on how nice it was and then we continued discussing the type of band I wanted. Didn't miss a beat and he gave me a card to have a custom band made if I wanted. Now I won't mention the name of the store, but I know that they do not work with moissanite or sims, yet it didn't seem like he suspected a thing. Just thought I would share not trying to be a party pooper, but if I was the jeweler and saw a ring and noticed that it's not real, I would not try to embarrass the customer. Considering its not even a CZ which I guess is more likely to be mistaken then mossinite.

Hi George79, you kinda are a party pooper  just kidding. Yea I know he could have noticed. And I'm not saying that he didn't notice, but it didn't "seem" like he noticed. Like others have said he probably did. However he did talk to me for quite sometime about cad renderings and what have you. He kept talking as I was trying to leave  So maybe they changed the store policy and now work on sims and moissanite? He really wanted my business. Maybe because my setting is platinum? I don't know, but it was still a pleasant experience. I'm glad there are nice people in the world.

I just dropped off my stone and ring at the jeweler's today. The word Moissanite was all over the package the stone was in, so clearly I was not trying to make them think it was anything else. But the clerk who wrote up my ticket didn't open it, so I'll be interested in the opinion they give about my stone, if any, when I go to pick up my ring.
