Mongol Rough Rock Total Posts: 26 Last Post: 1/7/2003 Member Since: 12/24/2002	Hey folks I am new to the forum and to Diamonds. My question is how to keep the Jeweller/Seller honest?. When buying a valuable items worth 1000's dollars the buyer can get ripped off. An example would be a Jeweller has provided me with a quote for a G VS1 RBC 1.0CT diamond for USD 5300 and claims it is ideal cut. How can I exactly be sure I get a quality diamond with good symmetry and propotions. The Jeweller is willing to give a valuation certificate but not a AGS/GIA or even GVS Certificate. Regards Mongol

What about return policy? Does it allow you to check the stone with independent appraiser? Pricescope

One way to ensure a good purchase is to make the sale contingent upon verification from an independent appraiser. This is a reasonable request, which most jewelers would go along with. If he doesn't, I'd suggest moving along to the next guy. Rich, GG Sarasota Gemological Laboratory Rich, Independent GG Appraiser Sarasota Gemological Laboratory
