THIS IS A GENUINE EARTH MINED Emerald. It has been examined by a master valuer, and a retail replacement value of $660 Canadian was determined Most jewelers know diamonds very well, but little or nothing about colored gems. Master valuers are experts in all stones. Emeralds are particularly difficult to appraise, so in almost all instances, I leave it to a master. An unsigned, unsealed copy of his report is shown here. and is included no charge. If you wish a copy signed and sealed by him, made out in your name, as I have already partially paid his fee, it can be arranged for an additional $30. This gem deserves a gold setting.
