Hello!
I'm newly engaged and just got my ring appraised. I about fell over when I saw that the appraisers Estimated Retail Replacement Value was double what he paid for the ring. My Fiance bought a loose diamond and then had a designer custom make the setting. I've heard that appraisals will always be more than what you paid but I didnt expect an almost 100% increase! The appraiser is a senior member of NAJA and has GG (GIA) after her name on the certificate. Is it normal to be this high or did my Fiance just do an exceptional job researching the right designer to make my ring??
