Give me a call if you are about to make a jewelry purchase. My only concern is that you are getting the gemstone that best suits your wants and needs.
Why an Independent Appraiser?
An independent appraiser has no vested (personal or subjective) interest in the item you own or are buying. The objective opinion you receive as to the grading or replacement value of an item by an independent appraiser is uncolored by commercial concerns. For an independent appraiser to buy or sell items they appraise is unethical. I will give you an opinion of value only.
