I got my ring appraised/verified by Patrick Davis - Los Angeles area
www.jewelryappraiser.net (in the Pricescope resources)
First, he will tell you BEFORE you buy to see if you are getting a fair deal. He does not sell or broker diamonds and is an objective appraiser. If I had known, I would have called him with a couple of my favorite pics just to check.
One thing I didn''t know is that there is a diamond "blue book" that lists prices by grade, so you know exactly if you are getting a good deal or not.
Appraisal:
- professional, asks you to follow along on your GIA cert but does not want to look at it. He goes thru everything and explains as he goes. Very educational.
- Totally reasonable rate.
- Verified my diamond and told me if I actually got a good deal or not, which I did (thanks James Allen & Pricescope)
- Very professional, takes about a casual hour. Highly recommend him.
