I am appraising a 128 facet diamond .76 ct from People's Jewellers. Since they are the only company that appear to be carrying this product I am having trouble finding comparables. The only direction I've been able to find is that they are generally worth 10% more than a regular rbd. Any thoughts on this?

Greetings Piscopera
I would first identify and then List on Your Appraisal, the Diamond’s Branded Cut Name and then look at values of that Branded Cut since it is a Copyrighted and Trademarked Cut so only that Branded Cut can be used as a Comparable and/or Replacement.
However if that Cut or Branded Cut is no longer available you have to make adjustments when using other comparable and you have to list How and Why you came up with that Adjustment.
You have to Prove Your Argument/ Statement by presenting your Methodology as to how you arrived at your Adjusted Value, you just can’t post a Value and let it go at that.
Similar to saying, “TRUST ME, I know what I’m doing.”
Here is a partial list of various Patented, Trademarked, Copyrighted Diamond Cuts and their Makers/Cutter/Vendors/Retailers
I would also mention to your client that if they lose or damage that diamond, the Insurance Company HAS TO REPLACE IT with the SAME BRANDED CUT if it is available.
