6000 CAD.
Also there is a great difference in price in SI2 and I1 certified diamonds. I and most people will need more info to really give our opinion of value. ON THE APPRAISAL IT SAYS THAT THE CENTER STONE IS SI2-I1.
Also do they have the depth and table of the center Diamond
THERE IS NOTHING ON THE APPRAISAL REGARDING THE DEPTH AND THE TABLE. THAT IS ALL THE INFO THAT I HAVE.

I will discuss the cut.
We know that Excellent is better then very good is better than good. Fair is very very bad.
Sounds like a 25% out of 100.

So basically what you are saying is that it was a bad buy. Is a good cut what you would consider FAIR? Please elaborate!! Do you think my friend was ripped off?

Princess, who appraised it? Was it the same people who sold it?

 

[princess]

It was a third party appraiser that deals with the jeweller, i guess. The ring was custom made. Do you think he got ripped off? I told him to get it appraised elsewhere as well just to doublecheck.

Princess, email rocdoc to see if he can recommend an appraisor in canada near you. Your right they should get rechecked just to have peace of mind.
