Legal Question in Business Law in Kentucky

Misrepresentation of a product

I purchased a diamond ring 5 years ago and received an appraisal, from the seller, (for insurance purposes) stating its value to be what I paid for it. I am attempting to sell this ring now and I have gotten appraisals from other jewlers indicating that the rings value is only 1/5th of what I paid (though the daimond market has been flat). Do I have any recourse with the jewler whom I purchased it from?

You need to consult a KY lawyer for details on the applicable statute of limitations.

There are two theories that come to mind: (1) breach of contract as to value [a contract claim], and (2) fraud [a tort claim].
