Hey guys,
I am not sure on what to do about the appraisal process. I read an independant appraisal should be done. Independent as in they do not sell anything for profit. An appraisal should not be done by whoever you bought it from.
With this said, my situation is as follows. I bought my diamond loose from DCD''s and had it verified to be the same as the certificate by a local store. I cannot find "independent appraiser" in the phonebook. Every jewelry appraiser is listed as local stores in the area.
I called a local store and they told me if I bought the setting from them, they would appraise the stone for 45 dollars. Some stores said 75 dollars. Will the appraisal be accurate and valid since the setting part of the sale is done by the same source whom is appraising it. Or should I have it set and then take it somewhere else to get appraised. I''d like to note, looking up just "appraisal" in the phone book gave names of places but most referred to estate appraisals. Do they ppl do jewelry as well?
Very confused as to what to do.
