Great info. regarding appraisals/appraisers
Now that it is time to get our wedding rings I am focusing on appraisers again. Found this great article on fortunoff's site. Hope it helps someone.
We used Ed Lewand for the E-ring and will probably go with him again.
About Appraisals
Your Fortunoff diamond engagement ring is accompanied by a diamond grading report and plot sheet, showing the quality and gemological features of your diamond, and an Estimate of Replacement Value for insurance purposes. The Estimate of Value is a detailed narrative summary of your diamond, including approximate retail replacement value, but it is not an appraisal.
Your insurance agent will advise you as to how frequently this information must be updated: this service is done with our compliments, as needed. You should also review your policy together to be sure your treasured diamond is adequately insured.
If you wish to have your diamond appraised, be careful to find a qualified independent appraiser, one who is not affiliated with any jewelry seller. You may be surprised to know that there are no laws governing who can appraise jewelry.
An honest and accurate appraisal of your diamond should be an independent one. Don't be afraid to ask. For your convenience, below is a list of some of the most reputable local, independent appraisers.
