Wow....my boyfriend picked up my engagement ring today (YAY!!!!!....now I just have to be SOooo patient for him to ask the big question
. I am super excited.
I also have a question because we got it (mounting and diamond) appraised and it came back to be valued (setting and diamond) at $12,000. However, my boyfriend paid $7300 for the diamond from JA and $2200 for the Varna setting. That means it was appraised $2500 more than what we paid. Are we just lucky, or does something seem off? Has this ever happened to anyone else?
Here are the specs on the diamond:
