Hello,
I am considering buying a stone in of two ways: on line or in a diamond district of New York City. I have several questions:
1. What is your opinion on buying non-certified stone. I never thought I would consider this but couple of my friends has actually done it and recommended it to me becuase your savings are really significant especially on a large stone.
2. Can you recommend an appriser on 47th street who can examine the stone. I would like to get in touch with the person before I travel to NYC since I am only going to have one day to purchase a stone.
3. With what level of accuracy can the appriser tell the quality of the stone (cut, clarity, florescence, table, depth etc.) wihtout having an actual certificate in front of them.
4. How can I make sure that the stone has not been inhanced in clarity?
5. What should I be expecting to pay for this type of service, assuming that I would bring couple of different stones during the course of the day for appriasal and consultation.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
