eidted after to fact to add: I'm completely confused. The appraiser who will be charging you 75.00 will end the appraisal if the cert doesn't match the stone. 1. providing you provide her w/ cert. 2. I can't blame her to some respect. - if you give her the cert & it's not for that *specific* diamond - something is haywire.
again, I add the bottom - but i'm still confused.
In case the appraiser who will charge you the 75.00 is not the same one who will *look* at your stone:
David, I can not fathom a jewler who sells settings would not *also* sell diamonds.
We are not calling you *cheap*. We have just seen this game played over & over again.
Quite frankly, - no holds barred - you are being played. If not, which will be very difficult for *you* to discern, she is a "gem".
I'm one of those dopey consumers who *still* trust her eyes. I don't care what the crown or pav. or whatever is. I trust my eye for beauty. I *indeed* relied on an appraiser to make sure my specs match w/ what I *paid* for.
We've seen quite a bit on our tenure here. We are only speaking through experience. Keep your appointment w/ the appraiser or risk "the chance" of being played.
