Appraised on 9/13/2016 by J. Michael Tracy, Certified Gemologist appraiser at Huntington Jewelers in Las Vegas stating the Marketable Cash Value as $4,450. Nowadays the insurance appraisal can be quite higher!!!
We believe that it is only fair for the buyer to have an independent evaluation of the gems offered for sale done by very qualified gemologists!!!!
Why would you buy an expensive piece of jewelry without an appraisal done by an impartial Qualified Gemologist??
