    DR. I know you're an incredibly confident woman. The jokes about your rubenesque stature are definitely engaging with your audience... but I just want to say that you are Beautiful... this is from my heart as a size 10, 120lb, Married 20 yrs and 50 yrs old woman. Education and Confidence have become rare in recent years. I'm glad there are still positive role models for others out there. Carry on and NEGOTIATE!
    PEACE, LOVE & KNOWLEDGE!!!

    🎄🦩Greetings from Pensacola, Fl.
    Your show is simply the best Dr. Lori. Quit watching one of the other shows after learning about you. ❤️
    Hoping to have some jewelry appraised after the Holidays by you but because I’m still a new kid on the block per say- and still learning about your appraisals,
    I don’t see how you can appraise jewelry without a loop or actually it being a hands on appraisal. Can you give an appraisal on jewelry?
    The jewelry I wanted to get appraised at a well known jewelry store said I’d have to leave the pieces there, and it could take a few months before they can get to it. Well that right away didn’t sit well with me. I’ve never done it before so I don’t know how it’s gone about. I want to be at the store when it’s done and not be leaving it locked up in one of their safes until they get to it.
    Do you have a utube link telling about how to go about getting jewelry appraised to someone who doesn’t know squat about appraising jewelry.
    Wishing you a most blessed and happy Christmas 🎄🎁❤️🦩🎄🎉💫🦩🐬🍻🍷🌞🌴🌴🎅🏼🧑🏻‍🎄🦩

    Hi Dr Lori. Recovering from a bad wreck years ago and surgeries like spinal fusion and replacement disc and recently waking up out of depression from all that stuff. I been saving up a bit of money to try my hand at reselling as I was a electronics sales man fresh out of high school. I used to be interested in Vintage cologne and purfumes for myself as the reformulated version of some of my favorite are just ununbearable. Is there any money in this business of vintage fragrances ? Because a diligent shopper can find incredible deals of people selling something not knowing its an original formula. Or should I move on to something eles. The fragrances helped me remember I used to love this stuff and reminded me of better days.

I live by your jewelry rules and don't know how to get my 3 CT diamond ring sized so I can wear it. Every jeweller says it will take x-many weeks to size so I should leave it. What do you suggest?

    • @DrLoriV
      @DrLoriV  4 роки тому

      Can you go back to the jeweler who sold you the 3 CT ring to have them resize it? A suggestion would be to get an appraisal of the ring before you have it resized. Get it documented of what you have. Then, when you drop it off for resizing tell them you have it documented. After the work is done, get the ring appraised again. Sorry this is the world we live in.

      @@DrLoriV thank you, and by the way I just sent you photos of "Cargador de Colima".. I got a reply that you prefer to touch it with your own hands, to appraise it. I can't go to a show, but I do appreciate your professionalism Dr. Lori. I understood completely and appreciated your HONEST reply instead of you trying to make a buck off me! How refreshing you are!
