Husband and I were doing some errands in town today, you know...the $500.00 club, spa store, lunch, music store, etc.. Dropped in to the jeweler in town I like with my AAAA tanzanite ring. Didn’t make an appointment for a formal appraisal so just asked if they could take a quick look and give me an idea.
At first glance at my ring (Two people were assisting me) their eyes became HUGE
Ok, good sign.
One of the jewelers took my ring and went to go into the back. I requested that I follow, she obliged. She and I sat while she looked at the ring.
She told me that while this wasn’t an official appraisal this ring is worth “well above $10,000” !!!!
Well alrighty then!
I am going to go in for a private appraisal while being present. (Had a bad experience once with a diamond ring at another jeweler in another part of the state) I will not leave this ring.
She did caution me to be careful that those stones are soft(?) and that two of them had a slight scratch on them
I need the full-on written GIA certified appraisal for my insurance. That will most likely happen next week.
I am needless to say...DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!
