21.20 Carat Fancy Pear Cut Amethyst with Independant Appraisal

Gorgeous Amethyst with an exceptional cut. Just a fantastic stone. Perfect color and clarity also. This gemstone comes with the pictured appraisal certificate from a GIA Graduate Gemologist in the San Diego Jewelry District. For those who don’t know how appraisal values are determined, they are done in two ways. Some appraisers assign a retail value, whereas others give a replacement value. As you can see, the appraisal value for this piece is a replacement value, meaning that it’s the value it would cost an insurance company to replace the item. And because insurance companies use wholesalers to replace lost or damaged goods, replacement values are considered wholesale, generally around 50% of a retail value. That means that this stone, in a jewelry store, would sell in the range of $1,000. And as you can see, the price we are asking is well below even the wholesale replacement value. We charge only one $5 shipping charge for all lots won. So whether you win one lot or every lot, all items won will be shipped for one flat $5 shipping charge.
