"Here is a copy of my appraisal for our ring that was completed by a certified Gemologist here in New York City.   The lady who appraised it said that Macy’s would charge around $12,000.00 for the diamond and the Platinum mounting.  And she said the wholesale price would be over $8,000.00.  Then I told her I paid "around" $7,500.00 for it, she said I got “a very good deal”.    So needless to say I was quite pleased as I paid less than $7,500 without the hassle of haggling (and not to mention 8% sales tax that I did not have to pay).  

I’ve shown the ring to a few people and they’re all excited about it, think it really suits my girlfriend.  I was even finally able (with all this rain we have had) to take it out in the sun.  It really lit up with sparkle and colors!  

Thanks Again, I will be in touch again for wedding bands and maybe an anniversary ring some day.  
You guys are great!  So thanks again, everything has worked out great.

Plus the biggest thing….the ring is gorgeous!!!!!!!"

Below is a scan of the actual appraisal Pete sent us.  We advised him at the time to go have them rerun the
appraisal through the printer as the items did not match up with the preprint. 
But you can get the idea he was very happy with his purchase.
