Ugh. Nice typo in title. Sorry.
Hi all. So we moved and I needed a new appraisal for my e-ring....I brought it to a local jeweler who was nice and worked with me to get an appropriate value for the stone...
I received the appraisal, and it does not have the GIA numbers in the body of the appraisal...it simply says there "on the GIA certficiates attached"...
Of course I know this is not acceptable
....I asked for him to add the GIA cert numbers to the cert and he wants to simply write them in with his signature....
He says he doesn't "save his work" on the computer so that god forbid there is a break in people won't know where to find a nice 3 stone...etc....etc...(strange but understandable).... so he wants to simply hand write this info..he actually wants to put his initial...I will insist on a full signature....
So I guess the question is, is it sufficient for him to simply handwrite the cert numbers in (the rest of the apprasial is typed out) and put is signature...Or maybe I should really insist on him re-doing it having the GIA cert numbers typed with the rest of the info...I mean, come on, who wouldn't know that you need the GIA numbers on the cert?....
