Hi all,
Recently got an engagement ring with e-diamond appraised and while it appraised several thousand dollars more than what I paid for it online.. I feel like it is still several thousand less than what a replacement diamond would cost at a brick and mortar store (based on my shopping and getting quotes). Is this normal? My concern is with the insurance and if they will make me buy from the store that appraised it. I'm afraid I wouldn't get the same quality diamond for this price unless the store would sell it to me with no mark up which we all know is in the 40-50% range.
Cheers
