It's true! Most of our jewelry appraisals are done while you wait, in front of you. Other than testing stones with the equipment or taking a picture, your jewelry never leaves your sight. Everything is done while you wait. Some jewelers may say their appraisals are done while you wait. If someone tells you that, ask them "do you give me the document right then, or do I get it on a later day?" We can already tell you what their answer will be. Also, beware of appraisers who are buyers in disguise.

Sometimes a specific article will require some homework and research to determine a value or authenticate an article. If this is the case with your item, we will let you know. This can happen in the case of:

Designer pieces,
Collectible watches,
Class rings,
Items that may not really be considered "jewelry" but is made of a gemstone material such as like ivory or jade carvings, or
Silver flatware

We never hold on to someone's jewelry. If you happen to have a unique item, please let us know when you call. This gives us a chance to plan and research ahead of time so we know what to look for and what to find out from you about your unique treasure.

Sorry, you will have to call for pricing. Our prices are subject to change due to the market. We also review our pricing at least once a year to determine if our price schedule is competitive and reasonable. So if you are a repeat customer our prices may have changed slightly. 

Our prices are competitive. If you are shopping for pricing, you will get what you pay for. Consider quality and detail of the workmanship, the experience and the education of the appraiser. You may be saving a few dollars now but you may pay later in various ways.
