How do they appraise a ring/setting?

Do they know how much it costs...do I tell them? I would guess so otherwise, how would they value one platinum setting from another. Anyone know?

How do I do that? I ask Mark. Neil Beaty GG(GIA) ICGA(AGS) NAJA Professional Jewelry Appraisals in Denver There's never a crowd when you go that extra mile.

Usually Mark falls within that range. He's not cheap, but none of those top end masters are. Rich, Independent GG Appraiser Sarasota Gemological Laboratory

LostSapphire Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,060 Last Post: 11/17/2009 Member Since: 11/4/2007	Neil/Richard: I am taking my custom Jeff White Sapphire/Whiteflash setting in to an appraiser tomorrow. I have provided him with all of the documentation provided to me by Jeff and WF. Is there anything else I should do? Things I need to point out? The other issue is that I am in Canada, so this appraisal needs to be done for my CDN insurance policy. WF provided a rather sketchy appraisal with the ring, which was basically a reprint of the bill of sale, with reference to the size/shape of the sapphire (ie: they didn't source it so they provided no detail). Can I expect much more with an independent appraiser? Thanks LS

I think you have given him or her enough information for now, and should just sit back and see what he or she has to say about it now. Rich, Independent GG Appraiser Sarasota Gemological Laboratory
