Clever.

I don't recall much of the details about the $12k engagement ring that I bought from Costco, but all of the associated
certified paperwork was in order...Cut, Clarity, Color, Carat.
The gent who opened the glass case for us was a retired gemologist. He spoke to my fiance and she was impressed. I also don't recall how the "retail" value was passed along, but I remember that figure was stated as $18k.
That's my contribution. Good luck.

PS That particular engagement ended and I returned the ring. It was shipped back to Costco to be inspected by their in-house gemologists for authenticity.
My refund arrived a few weeks later.

BTW, how on earth do women know so much about diamonds? Uncanny.
