So I chose on a diamond and a setting from a private diamond seller. He is having the setting prongs reset to hold the stone I purchased. The stone was a GIA certified stone and I really like what I am buying.
I was curious to know how a Diamond Appraisal works? I know that they say the appraiser should be independent and not actually be selling diamonds. Are these types of appraisers found easily? I searched my state and only found one that is almost 2 hours away.
The diamond is being set but I wanted to have it appraised afterwards to confirm that it is my diamond for the most part. I know it is better to appraise out of the setting but I am sort of pressed for time.
Anyone have any recommendations about how to get this thing appraised so I can be sure I am getting what I paid for???? HELP ME
