I bought my 0.95 loose diamond (VS2, I color, med fluro) for 3850 and got it appraised over the weekend. He was independent, based in LA, got him off the appraisal list here on PC. Anyways, he was saying that he would write the appraisal value for $4k as the insurance company will use the lowest retail value in their insurance calculation and based on these charts of the 4C's and ratio figures and the fact that it has medium blue fluro knocks the price down a bit by X percent.. giving me a total of 4k. Now it's just slightly more than what I paid for it, but in the appraisal world, is it better to have it appraised for the same amount I paid for it or double/triple the amount etc??
