Bought a Diamond in the Last 14 Years? Get Tons of Money From Class Action Settlement

Author: Nick
Category: Money
Topics:

finally you can get something worthwhile out of that engagement ring purchase

Universal Law of Finance #37: Any company that makes a ton of money will eventually have to give some of that money back in a class action lawsuit settlement, usually because it did something painfully illegal.

Normally I don’t get too hyped up over class action settlements because an individual included in the settlement class typically only receives a few bucks or a worthless gesture of apology. This one is different. De Beers, the company which essentially has a monopoly on the world’s supply of diamonds, is settling a massive lawsuit brought against it under allegations of monumental price fixing. Whether De Beers is guilty or not will never be decided in court because it’s taking the usual big business way out of gigantic class action lawsuits and throwing out a small morsel of the $6 billion it brings in each year in order to make the whole thing go away. Fortunately, what may be a pittance to De Beers could translate into a sizable sum for you and me.

Under the terms of the settlement, consumers who have purchased a diamond in any form (engagement rings, other jewelry, or even mixed with other gemstones) between January 1994 and March 2006 could be eligible for a tidy refund—anywhere from six to 60% of the original purchase price. Depending on how much you spent on diamonds during the period in question, you’ll be eligible for a refund that you can estimate from the following table.

a chart with a bunch of numbers i am not retyping in this alt text

A lot of people married in the last decade could cash in nicely on their engagement ring purchases. For example, an engagement ring that set you back $5,000 would mean you’d be entitled to a settlement of about $1,600. Those shelling out twice that or more—$10,000 and up—will find themselves in a higher percentage bracket and entitled to $4,500 for every $10,000 they spend on their rings. Other types of diamond jewelry are also available, so good luck trying to remember all of the diamond jewelry you’ve bought since 1994.

Consumers have a few things going against them in this settlement:

  1. Lots of people could mean less money for you. The total amount De Beers will pay is capped at some obscene but finite nine-digit figure, so if enough claims are made, you might get less than that percentage listed in the table above. Hmm, maybe I should keep this to myself…
  2. You need receipts. While you probably won’t be asked to produce them, the settlement administrators reserve the right to request that you provide receipts for your diamond purchases, and certain large purchases will require a receipt before you get your settlement. Credit card statements should work too, so start digging for your documents before you file a claim. Don’t be an idiot and add an extra zero to your diamond purchases because you could find yourself getting nothing later.
  3. Don’t bother if you spent only a bit. If your total diamond purchases during that period were under $165 for mixed-gem jewelry or $95 for diamond-only jewelry, you can stop right now because your settlement chunk would be $10 or less. Such small settlement claims will not be paid due to “administrative costs.”
  4. Anything could happen between now and later. It’s likely that the settlement will go through as it’s currently written, but there’s always the chance that something could happen—anything from minor rewrites of clauses to total scrapping of the settlement due to objections or other legal maneuvers.

If you have your receipts and are ready to file a settlement, you can do it online in just five minutes right here:

I filed mine today for two pieces of diamond jewelry: my wife’s engagement ring (bought in 2004) and a diamond pendant (Christmas 2006). When I told her about it, her reaction was priceless: “That’s a diamond in that pendant?” (I wish I were making that up, but I’m not.) Yeah, she’s getting toy jewelry from those 25-cent dispensers in the supermarket from now on.

Our diamond was recycled from an old ring, so I guess it doesn’t count.

Nice find…I am going to fill it out for the engagement ring that I got my wife.

My one comment is that site looks a little shady…I hope that it is a real site and not some site that a Nigeran high-school student threw up to scam us into giving out our info.

Luckily I have the receipts from the engagement ring purchase back in 2002 and they haven’t faded either. That’s $2,900 right there (yep, all on credit! I was naive 7 years ago). Let’s hope they pay out what they state above!

But…. but….. I well remember those DeBeer TV ads of yore proclaiming that a diamond is an “investment.”

Maybe they meant an investment in suckering in some dame who is bedazzled by bright shiny things.

Whatever.

I, the Mighty Obbop, star of neither stage nor screen is proud to declare I have never been suckered in by a monopolistic purveyor of bright shiny things spewed from volcanoes nor by any female seeking a servent to meet he incessant desires, wants, needs and general self-centered me me me me me me attitude.

Yes! This story has all the flavor of an internet phishing scheme. Some of you skeptics may not believe this, but I saw a full-page ad in US. News today that led me to the web site to fill out a claim. I did so for an engagmenet ring I purchased in 1997 and a Christmas gift in 2000. The total was under $2k, but $600 will be well worth the 5 minutes it took me to fill out the claim form. I honestly doubt that “Nigerian high school students” have the capacity to place full page ads in national magazines.

Careful. In reading the fine print, I found that you are basically waiving your right to any future entitlement you may have against DeBeers. If you happen to own a jewelry store, you may be entitled to MUCH more than this settlement offers and you may want to opt out of this class action settlement, just so you can build your own law suit for DeBeers monopolizing the market, preventing you from reaching your full profit potential.

Mark
February 5th, 2008 at 5:30 pm

First off, I am filing a claim in hopes of receiving something seemingly for nothing. However, if you start to do the math, it doesn’t work to well. The amount of the settlement earmarked for consumers is about $135 million. After the lawyers get their cut (1/3 off the top) that leaves about $90 million. If you take just one style of jewelry, say a $3,000 engagement ring and apply the percentage rebate from the website of 32%, that equals a payment of $960. Divide $90 million by $960 and you get 93,750 rings. My guess is that in 14 years, there were significantly more than 93,750 $3,000 rings sold. Then consider all the other pieces of diamond jewelry both more and less expensive and all of the sudden, there isn’t all that much money to go around. If I get enough to buy a large pizza and rent a movie, I’ll be pleasantly surprised. I’m filing a claim more out of curiosity than hopes for an actual payment.

Here is the actual email from the administrative contact I received. You’ll notice that they mention waiting to see how the “appeals” turn out. It just dawned on me, if a settlement was agreed upon, why are there appeals needing to be considered? Was this a bogus effort for publicity for the cause? You be the judge…

$295 Million Cash Settlement in Diamonds Antitrust Case

On May 22, 2008, Judge Stanley Chesler of the U.S. District Court in Newark, New Jersey entered an order granting final approval of a $295 million settlement of an antitrust class action brought against De Beers by purchasers of diamonds and diamond jewelry in the United States.

Payments to class members are being delayed because Judge Chesler’s order has been appealed by a small handful of class members to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. A decision by the Third Circuit is expected by the end of 2009. Distribution of settlement proceeds will occur once the appeal is resolved.

Settlements like this are done betcause of the negative press that a company will receive. It seems as though the press is not good, but could have been worse. It is a matter of weighing costs, and if they were able to settle on this level, you wonder what the outcome could have been!

Go figure…Debeers say that they want to make all this go away and would like to settle the matter right away BUT GUESS WHAT…they decided instead to pay their attorneys more money and prolong the matter with several appeals. THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME MY HUSBAND AND I REQUEST ONLY DEBEERS DIAMONDS….I will make damn sure that the next diamond was not purchased from them or their affiliates. They want to screw their customers more so that they can keep more of their money to themselves….isn’t that the way it always works? Those that really work for their money are the ones that get screwed in the end.

1) Check their scores and read through their feedbacks first.
2) Check the certificate. if possible go for GIA
3) There are a lot of cheaper diamond rings because they are enhanced, that is, the normal defects are lasered in a way that it is covered and sometimes a layer is added on to enhance shine.

Natural Diamonds come from volcanoes.They start off in ‘rough form’ and then they are cut and polished by folks who specialize in producing beauty out of a rough diamond. Diamonds which are cultivated are probably man made diamonds which come from a lab which creates these diamonds

A drop of dishwashing liquid, a drop of household ammonia, and about a pint of warm water.

Let your ring soak in that solution for a few minutes, then use a very soft toothbrush (one made for babies is best) to brush around the stone and prongs. Rinse, rinse, rinse … and let the piece air-dry.

I got my wife a G color diamond.

When I brought it to an appraiser to have it verified, he brought out a set of reference stones.

From D through H, without the use of his special light, I couldn’t tell the difference.

Some people are verrrrrry color sensitive and can tell. *Most* people can’t.

Here’s the deal, unless the 2 stones are side by side, most people won’t be able to tell you the color.

Also, since you’re using Platinum, it will help make the diamond appear more white.

So, if it were me, I would get the diamond that has the best CUT. It’s the CUT of the diamond that makes the sparkle.

If the CUTs are equal, then I would choose the larger diamond.

There is no right answer. But you should never say NO to a guy just because he didn’t spend a lot of money. I specifically asked my husband to NOT spend a lot of money. I didn’t want a ring on that I would feel nervous wearing in public and for everyday activities.

I heard about this interesting story from one of my clients in our cosmetic surgery center. She said, she will have sclerotherapy treatment once she gets some money as a refund for a diamond ring her late husband had given her. She said, she would not sell the ring because it was the only valuable gift she had received from her husband.
