Ring Appraisal - Any Diamond Experts?
I'm wondering if anyone know about diamonds. I have a diamond ring that I inherited and I am wondering how much it is worth. I do not want to bring it to an appraiser because I was told they would have to take the diamond out the setting.

If you call a jewelry store some of them have appraisers that come in and you can sit with them and watch them do it... that's what I did, made me feel much better

Ditto. My appraiser never took my stone out & I sat there & watched her appraise my ring.
Especially an older ring I would be weary of this.

My appraiser never took my diamond out to appraise my ring and other pieces.
I use Jewlery Judge they don't sell they only do appraisals.

They did everything in front of me. I use Gennaro Jewelers in Bellmore. They NEVER took it out.

I used Jewlery Judge too and they didn't take the stone out of the setting....he said its easier when the stone is loose to judge the clarity.

Re: Ring Appraisal - Any Diamond Experts?
in order to get the exact weight of the stone it wil have to be removed from the setting. They can measure it in the setting but as others have said, you can have it done in front of you.

Re: Ring Appraisal - Any Diamond Experts?
If you specifically request that that the stone not be removed from the setting, they will give an estimate of the size of the stone. I did this. They wrote something on the appraisal to indicate that it was not an actual weight.
