This was my first big purchase of a diamond ring and because I bought it over the internet with a reputable seller, I wanted it appraised and authenticated by an expert. Craig's education and experience was on his website, easy to read and understand. I was impressed and I was able to receive an appointment the same day; this was important because I had a small window of time in case I wanted to return the ring.
Overall, I had a positive experience with Craig. He was efficient, personable, and very knowledgeable. Although he was located a little far from me (I reside in Tempe), it was well worth it. His fee is $70 and it reflects his years of experience, education and the connections he's made all over the world in this industry. I definitely would recommend him.
