SCARSDALE, N.Y. A Scarsdale woman told police April 27 that a diamond on a recently repaired ring had been replaced by a piece of glass. According to the police report, the woman lost the stone from her grandmother's diamond ring and had it replaced by Wilson & Son jewelers in Mount Kisco after an insurance payout. The woman's parents picked the ring up for her in early February, and, after she wore the ring for a month, she noticed a problem, the report said.
She brought the ring to Michael Wilson at Wilson & Son jewelers in Scarsdale, where she was told the stone had shifted and then, on further inspection, that the stone was a piece of glass, the report said. Police are investigating.
