Should be true fair market value ... What someone would by it for and not replacement value (ie for ins. purposes).

I remember when i went to get my wife's appraised (for insurance) they asked for the GIA certificate. What's the point of paying you $75 if you're just going to look at the certificate? This was in atlanta

I got one done recently by Continental Jewelers in downtown DC near Farragut North metro. Little mom and pop jewelery store, nothing fancy but the appraisal seemed good to me. I got it for insurance purposes and the insurance company accepted it. Think he appraisal was around $100? But can't remember exactly.

Preferably in NOVA or downtown DC. I need a value for my divorce proceedings.
