ring appraisal - where to get it?
I have never had my ring appraised....
Does your ring really appraise a lot higher than the cost?
Where can I go to get it appraised?

Re: ring appraisal - where to get it?
you should bring the gia cert but they shouldnt use it- they should be able to appraise it themselves and have it match the gia- or come close.
my ring appraised for 1k shy of double what dh bought it for!!!
IF you need an appraiser- fm me, he is located in the city on 47th!

DEFINITELY! they will be able to tell you if your diamond is the same diamond on the report.
ETA: when we had my e-ring appraised, he asked to see the GIA report only after he gave his opinion on the color, clarity, etc...

agreed. Also a stone that has a GIA cert of an EGL cert will appraise higher.
That's not necessarily a good thing. The more your appraisal is the more insurance you will pay.

My insurance only asks for the appraisal if it is over a certain amount.

Re: ring appraisal - where to get it?
Absolutely do NOT leave the ring, or let it out of your sight. When I had mine appraised, I sat there and watched the guy the entire time. It was interesting actually--he explained what he was doing and what he was looking for in the ring.
I had mine done at Macy's Herald Square. It wasn't the cheapest, nor the most expensive rate I found, but it was convenient, and I wanted to get that ring insured. You can go there whether you bought the ring at Macy's or not. Mine came from another store.
He also did not look at the GIA report until he was finished. His results and the report results matched more or less.

You know, I don't remember. Somewhere between $75-$100 maybe, but that was a couple years ago.

Re: ring appraisal - where to get it?
I had this guy who came to my house. His charge was a percentage of the value of the ring. I can't remember the name, but if you really want it I'll look at the appraisal when I get home to see. FM me if you would like me to do that
