Appraising your items while you wait.
Examination and necessary tests are performed while you watch. Your appraisal is a bound report and includes a full description, a digital image and a plot of all diamonds over half a carat. You will walk away with your jewelry and, barring anything extraordinary, you will receive the bound report at the end of your appointment.
During this procedure, your fine jewelry will be examined thoroughly for condition, size, weight, shape, color and clarity characteristics with all details noted sufficiently to perform the appraisal. This involves plotting diagrams of diamonds and gemstones over .50pts and serial numbers with trademark or copyrights, hallmarks, etc., to show authenticity.
Our comprehensive reports include detailed descriptions, accurate evaluations and digital photographs.
All services are a confidential matter between appraiser and client.
