So I went today to have both my wedding ring and engagement ring appraised so that I can get them insured. The experience was really great - I sat in there and watched Barry do the entire appraisal - the rings were never out of my sight. He was also very complimentary about my rings - pointing out little details that make them so nice, things I never even noticed. When it came down to my center stone, which is certified, I held the GIA certificate and he appraised outloud without looking at it, so we could see how accurate he'd be. He hit the nail on the head with almost everything.
All in all, he appraised both rings in under an hour, gave me all the paper work I need for my insurance, and made me a very happy bride to be! And, even better, my engagement ring appraised at $7,000 more than FH paid for it, he said we got a great deal - WOOHOO!

They're located at 320 Old Country Road in Garden City, right by the courts. You need an appointment though.

What's the price range on their appraisals. I'm all paranoid now because I just had my ring sized and left it there for two days. Everything looks the same - is my paranoia worth paying for another appraisal?

FH went there to get my ring appraised before he gave it to me because it is a family heirloom. He said they were very nice and it was a cool process.
