More worthwhile buying a legit ring, like this.
Are these Diamond rings legit?

Its a very Jewish area of London so id probably say legit but dont buy a diamond ring on ebay anyway....
Indeed. Wasnt it a genius marketing move to inflate the price of diamonds by making it the traditional engagement ring? In fact diamonds are so plentiful and easy to make nowadays there are no reasons for them to be precious gems and command a price above cubic zirconia if the market wasnt so highly controlled so the price is kept artificially high.
You’ve just redeemed yourself in my eyes.

Yep, every single item on eBay is suspect.
1) I didn't think it would be completely out the realm of possibility that there might be a learned individual on here that understands the certifications that it comes with, there must be plenty of people on here that have bought engagement rings over the years.
2)I just whacked a load of different rings on my watch list and a few offers came in, to be completely honest what peaked my interest was the 100% 5000+ positive feedback, I was just interested in their legitimacy.
I think you might be right, probably lab grown then, I forgot about those, that would make sense with the pricing I guess.
edit,
Maybe not, this is the 'About US' section from their website,
About us – Diamond Jewelry United
www.diamondjewelryunited.com
"Our Managing Director, Steven Grunhut, began Diamond Jewelry United as an eBay business back in 2007. A certified diamond grader and the third generation of diamond dealers in his family, he wanted to change the status quo by offering diamond jewellery at prices that would be affordable to everyone, without compromising on their quality or beauty. At DJU we do not believe in charging the 300-400% mark ups that many jewellery retailers charge.
So how can we offer these prices? Firstly, we have no middleman- we pride ourselves on manufacturing all of our jewellery in house and source many of our diamonds as rough diamonds in South Africa and polish the diamonds in-house. As an online business we also do not have the same overheads as a physical shop.
Following our success on eBay in the UK and US, we launched our our website to bring our jewellery to a wider audience. Most of our reviews are on eBay where we have sold more than 50,000 pieces of diamond jewellery with perfect feedback. We also have glowing reviews on Trust Pilot, Google and Yotpo.
We also provide excellent support and after sales service. If there is anything you want to know, at any time, simply get in touch and we will be happy to help. This of course is a service over and above the no quibble 60 day returns policy."
So you could buy it from their website rather than eBay, although to be fair eBay probably offers more protection.

Not traveling across the Chanel to Amsterdam with the Trotters by any chance?

If you gave her a ring with a glass stone in it and said it was a diamond and cost 3000 would she be able to tell?

She would when she went to pawn it.

Ironically I’ve got the opposite issue, got one to sell (Tiffany cut, 1.02ct, VVS2, F from memory) but don’t dare use eBay or any of the online places for fear of being conned or scammed or just generally something going wrong.
My ex kept the certification (‘lost’ it) when she gave me the ring back which hampers things somewhat too.
Think the only option I have is back to the jewellery quarter to the shop I bought it from when I have a spare half day but last time I went back was the run up to Christmas and they were only selling not buying.
The ring you described sounds too cheap at £1k (no idea as to the reason and how genuine it is) mine is a little smaller and higher graded but cost me £5.5k from memory and had a valuation for insurance at £13.5k retail. Be lucky to get £2k used though I imagine

In which case I cant see it. A one carat natural diamond of S2 with that colour rating costs over £1000 wholesale to buy. Why on earth would you sell them for £1000 as a ring on Ebay? You could just sell all your diamonds wholesale at £1000+1) I didn't think it would be completely out the realm of possibility that there might be a learned individual on here that understands the certifications that it comes with, there must be plenty of people on here that have bought engagement rings over the years.

What your saying makes sense, but how come the company is rated so highly on eBay, Google, trust pilot etc? Where's the catch here?
Well you get a diamond. They might be lying about them not being manufacturered ones, is any buyer going to be able to tell the difference? At the end of the day, if you are ordering the lowest quality 1 carat diamond and you get the lowest quality 1 carat diamond, what is there to complain about?

I have some magic beans for you, totally exclusive, as it's you, mates rates, only 50 grand, lack of field to plant in forces quick sale.
