Appraisals. Our appraisal staff is American Gem Society and Gemological Institute of America trained. The Accredited Jewelry Professional, (A.J.P.,GIA) and Registered Jeweler, (R.J., AGS) designations are carried by our appraiser as well as GIA Diamond, Diamond Grading and Colored Stone certificates, as are the AGS Annual Recertification of Accreditation and Jewelers Board of Appraisal Review (J-Bar). Knowledge of the retail market is also an important aspect of any jewelry appraisal and is incorporated into the appraisal process as well. Appraisals are available on and off site by appointment and available in (but not limited to) the following areas: insurance, estate, conservatorship, cash evaluation, consignment, fair market value and scrap value.
