Detailed Appraisal Services
Gemology Services: Clarity and Confidence for Your Jewelry
Service 1: Insurance Appraisal
Protect your investment. A detailed appraisal is required by insurers to ensure your precious pieces are covered for their full replacement value in the current market. I provide a comprehensive report with descriptions, measurements, quality grading, and photographs, giving you and your insurer the necessary documentation for your peace of mind.
Price: From $125.
Service 2: Fair Market Value Appraisal
Want to sell a piece of jewelry? Going through a division of assets or inheritance? This appraisal determines the probable price your piece would achieve in a sale between a willing buyer and seller, without pressure. It is the essential tool to ensure a fair and transparent negotiation.
Price: From $100.
Service 3: Verbal Consultation & Identification
Do you have a box of inherited jewelry and don't know where to start? Are you curious about a stone you bought on a trip? I offer an hourly consultation to analyze your pieces, identify the gems, and give a professional opinion on quality and value, without the need for a formal written report. It's the quickest and most accessible way to get answers.
Price: From $75/hour.
Service 4: Diamond and Gemstone Buying Advisory
Buying an engagement ring or an important gemstone can be intimidating. I act as your personal consultant, analyzing certificates (GIA, IGI, etc.), personally evaluating the stone, and ensuring you pay the fair price for the best possible quality. Don't let doubt spoil such a special moment.
Price: From $150/hour.
