You do not want to state you are selling. An insurance appraisal on jewelry is roughly twice what you could buy it for. Obviously,
a jeweler must subtract his profit from what you could buy it for.
NO I am not a jeweler or do I have an interest in buying it-whatever IT is.

Can you please explain your post? Are you saying that, if I tell an appraiser that I am selling the jewelry, he will appraise it lower? But, if I don't tell him that I am selling it, he will appraise it at two times the retail price? Also, if you buy a diamond from a jeweler for $10,000, how do you know that the jeweler didn't just buy the diamond from someone like the OP for $1,000? Is there any way to tell the difference between a new diamond and a 40 year old diamond? Just curious.
