Am inquiring details on an engagement ring appraisal. I have read that some appraisers have a flat fee, some charge based on the quality/size of the ring. I have also heard from family/friends that they have had their rings appraised for free, from the jewelers they bought the product from. Is a free appraisal too good to be true? Is there typically a mark-up in the price of the ring because of this?
For insurance purposes, do I go forward in getting a "replacement cost appraisal" or a "full cost appraisal"?
Do I also need to look for someone who has a Graduate Gemologist diploma and and specialized appraisal training?
I am getting recommendations and advise from all corners. Any insight in this process would be very helpful. Thank you in advance!!
