Just want to have this piece verified to make sure I’m not getting ripped off

How exactly do I go on about having it verified I just want to make sure I'm not getting ripped off..


I was planning on going to a jewelry shop but l'm not entirely sure what to ask to have it verified I definitely would like to test the white gold... I paid really good on it seller seemed like a genuine nicer old lady thank you in advanced

Well, you already have a relatively recent appraisal, which is the authenticator. You can look up the number at the company and request an official copy, if you like.

What you are asking for is an appraisal. There's a link at the top of the page under 'resources' with a list. There may be one in your area.

FYI not sure what you paid, but the sapphires are diffused so I really hope you didn't pay anywhere near the price on the appraisal.

I paid $340 did I overpay ?

No. The weight in 14k gold is probably at least that much

You got a deal!

I wonder if I'd be referred to as a genuinely nicer old lady.

I’m being told by someone on Reddit since the certificate isn’t stating it’s solid gold it’s plated.. is this a safe assumption?

That's not necessarily true. It says "stamped, tested". 99% of the time that means it's solid gold

Agree, and it says 14k white gold. I think if it were plated, the appraisal would say that.

I just want to point out that while you seem to acquired this for a good price, as @lovedogs pointed out, this stone has undergone Lattice Duffusion which is a treatment to enhance the color, hence the color is not natural even though the gem itself is natural. I just wanted you to be aware of this.
