Thank you for your inquiry in the comment section of my website. I am happy to help!

Based on the information you provided, it sounds to me like you can purchase the ring with confidence. Does it come with an appraisal or any diamond grading report?

Here is a picture of the engagement ring with a band. I will ask the seller about the appraisal and diamond grading report.

Just a verbal appraisal no color grading report, if I want one I could pay for it. She was going to list the ring for $1000 but she is selling to me for $800 and the band she is selling to me at under her cost because I'm buying the engagement ring.

Does it make a difference about the appraisal or color report? Is it something I should have? I could pay for it if you think it's a good idea.

It is up to you if you'd like to have this information. It is needed if you plan on insuring the piece of jewelry. 🙂
