I bought a diamond 1.39 VS1,H,No Flr,Depth 59, Table 54,Culet none, Polish-Symmetry Excellent The ring has 2 stones on the side H,s1 .25 on the sides. Diamond 8000, Ring 2000. The total combination cost 10,000.
I go to get an independant Appraisal. Appraisal say its worth 13,800.
I could have bought a 1.10 non GIA cert diamond, H SI1 for 8000 and the appraisal on the diamond was 13,000. When asked if I could get an appraisal for the diamond, the diamond seller said they could get the diamond appraised for 13,000. Yet, When I looked into the scope I could see clouds and crystal formations.(remember no cert, the table was about 65)This would put my onetime shopping at 15,000 if I had stayed with one store, one ring.
Can someone please tell me why I went through the trouble of finding an independant loose cut diamond ? It seems easier to buy a crappy diamond already in the ring, not have the diamond (not GIA Cert)independantly appraised and get a bigger insurance policy. Loose the ring in 2 years and upgrade.
It seems like appraisals lean better if you stick with one diamond vendor. Then its, I wash your hand and you wash mine.
