Just for the sake of it. Hahah I was a jewelry appraiser. I tried so hard not to appraise my engagement ring. I gave in to the temptation and eventually appraised my own ring. No big deal.

[@charlottep321]

either one of them is seriously overpricing the rings or the other is really underpricing them

[@melissalynn7183]

I think one is more Retail Value of the ring versus the Resell Value of the ring. At least that's the only reason I could see them being so drastically different.

[@TheCchristiana]

No one guesses way closer than the other tho

The guy overpricing is probably just trying to be really nice for the camera and the person sitting in front of them. Could also be a strategy to get folks into his service since he dropped his company name at the beginning. Who knows.

[@Caro-cg8gt]

the other huge component is what is charged for certain styles as they come into popularity, plus the difference between the cost to make and what they are sold at (most jewelers sell at at least 300%-400% the cost of the ring, often substantially higher)

[@QuimBeelivingstone]

I think the appraisers were so different because maybe the gentleman was appraising for insurance purposes and the lady was appraising based on what she thought it would re-sell for.

[@recoil53]

The question is straight up though - the worth of the ring. Not what you can get on the market or replacement cost.

[@sleepygirl96]

@@recoil53 the worth of something is always determined by what you would get on the market for it atm

[@recoil53]

@@sleepygirl96 And yet that means the answer would still be the same. Insurance is to cover the cost of replacement. Of course a pawn shop will buy for less, since they have to cover their business costs and make a profit.

[@joy844]

recoil53 so I just went ring shopping and you can buy a generic 1 carat diamond ring from a jewelry shop for $2500 and you can buy a Tiffany’s 1 carat diamond for 13k so there can be a huge gap even if it’s the same material

The guy has been doing it for way longer and gave way more explained details about each ring. The girl just stated the setting it was in and said yup its clean and bright

[@savannah4439]

Galylea Velazquez - true, but the girl was usually closer to the real value. My guess is that she could have been careful about what she said because she didn’t want to offend the ring owners. Since unlike at their jobs, these people already have emotional attachments and plan to keep their rings

[@blancaah6]

What the ring is worth in gold/diamond value vs the retail cost are two different things. And you can't judge from the video how much appraisal was edited out you bimbo

[@SnowLilies]

I KNOW. pointless video without the real answers...

[@SilfortyElement]

[@DarkModulator]

two apraisers but also two differrent prices no1 very good and exprienced, but his price is the retail full price you would pay no2 is like more like a pawn shop employe and the prices closer want you would get if you sold the ring the truth is somewhere in between

[@QuimBeelivingstone]

I think your 100% right

[@tiffanyday187]

Pawnshop price for a ring like that unappraised is probably closer to $1800 (I price jewelery in a pawnshop) His price is based on colour and hers was just based on size so she probably used the average for the size.

[@DarkModulator]

@@tiffanyday187 you are right, Always full retail price on a jewelry shop is hiked up. His price is the full price with the taxes.

Nah the truth is under what both of them would offer. no 2 is better at gauging prices

[@kjneal5591]

Wait why is someone who doesn’t know the price of their ring being featured on a video where people guess the price of her ring?

[@danicaoslund6083]

I think it's less about guessing the right price and more about showing viewers how they estimate prices

[@hiphopjewels]

True, but if they are using engagement rings, it isn't tasteful for a woman to be privy to what her spouse actually paid for the ring. Why would her husband tell her that? He could, but he probably shouldn't.

[@Heyyitsalli]

to be fair, the first girl said she asked her husband and he said something like he didn't remember the exact price he paid. And the third girl knew how much her husband had spent on the ring itself but didn't know the value of the diamond because it had been passed through generations.

[@jongold4411]

Peter is more knowledgeable and is giving high-retail replacement values for insurance purposes. Lisa seems to be pretty new to this and is giving her best guess as to what was paid for the rings. Neither is wrong but an insurance value is always gonna be high.

[@cassiereilly120]

Jon Sumpters thanks!!

[@graceanne385]

Peter is seriously highballing. He was supposed to be appraising cost, not for insurance purposes. . He was clearly way off. I would never personally shop with him. I would go to him to have my jewelry appraised for insurance purposes though. . Lisa’s estimates were proven to be much more accurate based on what the customers actually paid for the rings.

[@yanischapman4446]

Grainne Salino it seemed to be like she was guessing since she was actually guessing the size of the stones and was off every single time

[@graceanne385]

Yanis Chapman She was much closer than him with her estimates. Did you watch the video.

Or try to find a certified appraiser and gemologist. Who are lisa and peter? Just because they work in the industry doesn’t mean they have the education, and unfortunately you don’t need education to call yourself an appraiser.

[@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer]

Insurance only covers a fraction of the ring e.g. if it's a $12,000 ring the insurance will only cover $2,500 of it You're better off buying a cubic zirconia ring for $350

Kyle Corrie has nothing to do with how “good” they are at the job, the end price they’re appraising each ring for could be resell value, original selling value/estimate...it doesn’t say what they’re appraising FOR. That’s the problem with this video.

All the girls were so chill. Just happy to be with a great guy! My girl wants a 1.5CT+ from Tiffany's because she saw how sparky another girl's Tiffany ring was compared to other rings at a party once 🤦‍♂️

Sorry for writing you, just out of curiosity your page come up on my suggested friend lists so I was just wondering if I knew you from somewhere???

[@fanni2698]

“Well if that’s the case you got a really good deal!”

[@mellymel9892]

This would’ve been so much better if they actually knew how much they paid for the rings isn’t that the whole point 🤷🏽

[@anetbear]

Hi! I like sparkly things so I’m here 👋

[@hanga113]

Wll i will never have a real one... Im not even sure i get one at all

[@ArmySimy]

If you want one there are totally was to make them more affordable. The best thing to do is get out of a mall and find a trusted local jeweller to work with you so you get what you want at a price you can afford. (Like smaller nice stone or larger stone with low colour/lots of inclusions/lower quality) Or don’t do a diamond. Or do a tinny diamond. Or find something second hand. Theres always a way if it means something to you.

Buy a cubic zirconia ring, you can get beautiful rings from $150 AUD to $350 AUD and because they're cheap it won't matter if it gets lost or stolen

[@mlck24]

Are they comparing their appraisals to the purchase price? Could there be a lot of price differences because of timing? Current appraisal value versus purchase price from years back? Edit: not referring to appraiser vs appraiser differences.

Peter is the asian version of Richard from the Case files of Jeweller Richarf and for some reason I'm up for it

[@volumen1y2]

Do you know how the industry increases the prices like Peter saying a 500 dollar piece cost 4500 , that’s how jewelers in real life increases their pieces

[@jessicawiley30]

[@johnbrannan453]

What a unfair test. The valuer's should of been asked how much thay would pay out of there own pocket for the rings. There are many different prices that could be attached to jewellery high end retail, low end retail, insurance valuation, and the most import price and only real price it what someone is actually willing to pay for your ring. The easiest way to make customer happy is to overvalue the items and then say "oh but we don't actually but jewellery" don't believe the hype! If you want a good deal on a diamond rings avoid the high street and look for established jewels that deal in pre owned jewellery.

[@jerome2755]

Peter is going to lose some customers lol lisa be killing it

[@sydneyc9798]

Unpopular opinion, but I love smaller rings and diamonds compared to large ones. I’ve got small fingers so a large ring would look MASSIVE on me, and I love the look of a small dainty ring

[@katielitchfield4762]

Not going to bother finishing watching because I thought the whole point was to have them guess the price and to know the actual price, but no one knows the price, so pointless.
