Basic Appraisal Report
(Silver Package)

The Certificate of Value shows that you are the owner of the jewelry/gemstone and has photos of the pieces. It also has notations of cut, color, clarity, size, and value.

The illustration to the right is a Certificate of Value. This is found in our Silver Package

Diamond Grading / Fingerprint
(Gold Package)

Just as no two fingerprints are the same, no two gems are the same. In this report we show the "internal" road map of the gem with digital photograph. Most stones have inclusions these are noted and mapped to show the uniqueness of the stone. This can be proof positive of a gems identity.

See illustration to right.


These are two of the reports that could be in your appraisal. Other reports may be included, as necessary, for pearls, colored gemstones, etc.

This is the report in our Gold package along with the Silver report

Performance Grading
(Platinum Package)

This is a scale that represents the amount of light that is reflected back from the stone to your eye. It is printed in a color diagram of your diamond showing the areas that best reflect light to the weakest areas that allow light to "leak" out or not reflect back to your eye. Red is the strongest reflection area, Green lesser intensity, Blue almost no intensity, and white areas "leak" light from the stone. The proper mixture of these cause a stone to have fire and brightness. This is percentages of these areas the stone arrive at a grade for Light Performance.

When you add this report it becomes the Platinum package with the Silver and Gold report

We have 3 Categories of reports; Insurance, Market value and Estate.

Insurance appraisals are for new replacement of your new jewelry.

Estate appraisals are for fair market value of jewelry items. These values are based on pre-owned jewelry prices in the secondary market.
