I have a diamond with a GIA certificate and a laser inscription, so I know the certificate matches the stone. The GIA cert. calls the stone an F color. When my appraiser looked at the stone, before he saw the cert, he called it an H. The GIA says VS1, he called it a VS2. Then once I showed him the cert he scoffed at the GIA saying they are too lenient. I thought the GIA was strict. Should I be worried that my stone is not really an "F"?
I also felt he appraised it a bit low. The GIA report states:
1.37 carat
F
VS1
60.2% depth
56% table
7.18x7.24x4.34
no culet
thin to slightly thick girdle
The appraiser felt that it was an ideal cut. We paid $8,750 for the stone plus $650 for the setting for a total of $9,400. He appraised the total ring at about $12,250. Does this sound low?
