Question: Really bad diamond situation, what should i do?

My boyfriend bought a diamond from a jeweler, who claimed it was one carat, princess cut, VVS1 clarity, and F in color. We went to a different jeweler who looked at it, and said it was under a third carat, and the color was way lower. He paid $5.8k for it. When he bought it, the man said "diamonds don't get receipts. " What can we do to get at least some of our money back? We realized this was wrong when we went to the second jeweler, who showed us a REAL one carat diamond, with perfect coloring for $4.2k.

Your mistake would be in not getting a receipt. You should have known right then that something was fishy. You should never be paying that much money without getting a receipt in return. If you can, report it to the authorities, but if your boyfriend willingly paid money for the diamond, they probably won't be able to do much for you. It may prevent it from happening to others, though.
