General Price Estimate & Appraisal Inquiry

[ACBerry]

I have recently inherited a .5 carat round diamond which I intend on resetting in a platinum tiffany style solitare. Generally speaking, how much can one expect to pay for the resetting? Also, how would you recommend I find a jeweler to appraise this for insurance purposes? I am new to diamonds, and there is much sentimentality attached to this one. Thanks in advance!

Hi ACBerry,Resetting can cost you about $200-400 give or take including the Tiffany style ring depending on metal (gold or platinum).Look for AGS jeweler in your area to give an appraisal. You can use AGS website: www.ags.org , just click on "Locate Jeweler" onthe left.
