Tsar’s Jewelry Shoppe

At the time of this writing this jewelry store is no longer open. I am however writing to alert others of my experience.
About 5 years ago I took a diamond and a setting to this jeweler to have reset. This jewelry shop sat almost adjacent to the lacrosse sporting goods store that we also shopped. I had used Tsar’s for a few repairs prior to taking him my setting and diamond. Tsar was a very large Jewish? man, friendly, who used an electric chair to move around. In his store he sold moissanite, a fake diamond that he often boasted of its quality and affordability. (I had never heard of moissanite before this time.)
Last week I learned that the diamond in my ring is not a diamond at all — but rather moissanite. Sadly, Tsar stole my diamond and replaced it with a fake stone.
And he is out of business on burnet road. i suspect many of you that used him for the same type of work have also lost your diamonds. I’m sorry for us — but mostly I’m sorry for that poor man that steals from people who trust him.
