NYC Independent Diamond Appraiser Recommendation

[goobear78]

I am looking for an independent appraiser in NYC for a diamond I am considering for purchase.

I know Pricescope has a search menu for appraisers and I’ve looked through it, but I was hoping to get personal recommendation. Is there anyone that a PS member has used, loved and would recommend?

And can anyone walk me through the appraiser process? I’ve found the stone I want through a PS vendor, but before I buy it, I’d like to get it i independently appraised for my peace of mind. Do you know if a vendor will let you do that before you buy? I will ask them when I talk to them this week, but I was wondering if anyone has done this.

Thanks!

You would need to check with the vendor concerning having this diamond sent to an appraiser regarding payment etc, but it shouldn''t be a problem to do so.

This info should be helpful to you which describes the process.

I used David Wolf of Just Appraisers and liked him.

I''m so excited. The stone in questions is at David Wolf''s as I type. Should get a report today or tomorrow.

Hopefully it all checks out because I really love this stone. Can''t wait to share it with you once it''s done.

Pricescope IS the best!
