Get appraisal certificate of the diamond engagement ring

One of the most crucial aspect of buying a diamond engagement ring or any other jewelry like wedding ring, gemstone engagement rings, three stone rings, pave-set rings and even little items like pendants, lockets and diamond earrings, is that you must get an appraisal certificate. An appraisal certificate mentions the correct existing market price of the jewelry you have just purchased from a jeweler. The appraisal can be done by a professional at the jewelry shop or from anywhere else.The certificate should not mention the reduced price at which you bought the diamond engagement ring. You bargained a lot and bought the ring at cheaper prices. But its actual price is higher in the market and the certificate should mention this price only. This is because you would like to sell the ring jewelry or at profit in the future if at all you have to sell it.
