He verified the certification of the diamonds and gave me a folder containing his appraisal and all the details of the ring.

The guy could even teach about what he does. - Polite? Checked! Very important these days where social interactions are mostly virtual. - Up-Front? Checked! And THANK YOU for that. No time wasted by being honest and open with the client. Other appraisers would charge regardless without even telling. - Bilingual? Checked! What a surprise...
