Expert Jewelry Evaluation


Do you have jewelry but are unsure of what it is, if it is even “real” and how much it might be worth? Are you considering selling a piece of jewelry but don’t know how much you will get for it?  If you don’t need a formal documented appraisal, a jewelry evaluation might be the best fit for you.

Let’s Find Out Together!

In our evaluation appointments we will sort through your box of treasures and help determine which items have commercial value and which are more sentimental in value. We will test metals and gemstones as needed and give a verbal evaluation of the value of the piece.

We Will Evaluate Your Jewelry to Determine Its Worth

For inquiries regarding the sale of a piece we often provide two values: one if you were to sell to a dealer and another if you were to sell to another end consumer. We can also give you ideas of how to sell your pieces. We work hard to make sure you are comfortable during the process and that you understand how we’ve determined the value of your jewelry.

These appointments are booked by the ½ hr. at a rate of $50. If you need documentation for your pieces, please check out the Appraisal section.

You’ll have the information you need to feel good about your decisions.
