Honesty, Integrity, & Expertise
Why Chose Me For Your Appraisals?
There are many certifications jewelry appraisers can obtain, some of which require extensive education and training from reputable accredited schools, and others with few requirements from lesser known schools that are not accredited. I have the experience, the expertise, and the knowledge to get the most accurate appraisal of your jewelry or gem stones.
WHY APPRAISE YOUR JEWELRY?
First and foremost, you should have an appraisal if you plan to sell your jewelry or use it as collateral. By far, the most important reason is for insurance purposes. Over the years, the value of your jewelry and gemstones can fluctuate greatly. If your last appraisal is over two years old it may be out-of-date and, as a result, your jewelry could be insured for less than its replacement value. That means you risk a substantial financial loss if your jewelry is lost, stolen or damaged.
