Nicholas,

    Appraisal is in the end only a matter of opinion without commitment.
    No offence directed at appraisers. 

    The best and realistic way to establish the 'correct' price is to
    ask the customer to show the item  to a few jewellers or jewellery
    shops and request them to quote their price for supplying/making a
    similar item. In such instances a realistic appraisal takes place
    as the jeweller who quotes is committed to supplying at that price.
