So what now makes you think it's a fake?

You may if you represented it falsely, have to give them their money back.

If you were not sure, you merely tell them the markings, not promise it is anything. But if they believe you knew it was not, and intended to cheat them, yes they could press charges against you

Hello f:

If this guy goes to the cops, the cops will tell him to sue you. They'd be interested if they thought you did this for a living, but because you sold ONE piece of jewellery, they're not.

Therefore, the only recourse this guy has is in court, and even there he'll have to PROVE you KNEW it wasn't real.. That's going to be hard to do.

If this guy contacts you again, tell him POLITELY, that you didn't cheat him, and that you're NOT going to give him his money back.

Agreed. It's a civil matter. If Florida makes it a crime (extremely doubtful), the authorities would find proof beyond a reasonable doubt of scienter (knowledge that it is fake) almost impossible.

In civil court, the general rule is caveat emptor.
