Protect your jewelry

For me, ensuring your jewelry is thoroughly examined and documented is paramount. Whether you need a jewelry appraisal for insurance or evaluating the jewelry in an estate, it’s about helping you value and protect your most precious assets.

As a GIA® trained Graduate Gemologist and National Association of Jewelry Appraisers (NAJA) candidate member, I follow strict professional standards including the NAJA’s Code of Professional Ethics and Uniform Standard of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

 

Examinations are conducted at your home or office and a finished report is often ready in a few days.

Estate Appraisals

Are you an heir or executor of an estate and need assistance valuing jewelry for equitable distribution or tax purposes? Estate Appraisals are an efficient way to determine the fair market value of a jewelry collection. 

Gem Identification

Gemstone Identification consultations provide third party confirmation that a gemstone or jewelry item is what the seller advertised it to be.
