David Wolf

I'm a newbie at this and just bought a diamond for an engagement ring (the subject of the "How awfully bad of a cut is this?" thread in Rocky Talk).

Having second thoughts about it, I contacted David to set up an appointment for an appraisal. Totally free of charge, he talked to me for a long time over the phone about the diamond's measurements and about the price I'd paid for it and offered suggestions about working out a solution with the jeweler. He completely didn't have to do all that he did, so I just wanted to thank him for it publicly.

I haven't gone through the appraisal process yet, so I don't know how good that will be, but he's also recommended by this site (that's how I found his name), and he charges a flat fee (so there's no commission for jacking up the appraisal value).
