Our appraisal services are unsurpassed for their comprehensive accuracy.

On staff, we have GIA Graduate Gemologists and Appraisers. Major insurance companies recognize our appraisals as the most professional and thorough documents in the industry. Customers often tell us that they “need an appraisal” on their items. We always ask what type of appraisal they need, since there are a few different types to choose from. Appraisals are professionally typed documents that require appointments.
