I really like the idea of picking out a few diamonds (perhaps from different vendors) and having them sent to an appraiser for comparison. Do you know if vendors are willing to send more than one of their diamonds?
Also, how am I so sure that the appraiser is not connected with the store. In other words, how can I ensure that the appraiser is truly independent? There is something suspicious about having to pick an independent appraiser from a list that is provided on the vendors website. Can I send the diamond to the appraiser of my choice?
