Jewelry Appraisal Services
We identify precious and semiprecious gems, test metal for type and karatage, inspect gems for treatments, and authenticate some watch brands. We can work with loose gemstones or jewelry pieces. Our services are conducted entirely in-house, using industry leading technology, our deep bench of experience, and a variety of certifications and accreditations. Your items will not only be safe and secure, but handled with care, confidence, skill and expertise.
