Colored Stones Grading
Colored stones:
The identification of the actual gemstone
The color grading system of the GIA separates “color” into 3 components which will be discussed in full below.
• Hue
• Tone
• Saturation
Clarity: The clarity of a stone is commonly described as being from “Eye clean”, “Lightly”, “Moderately”, or “Heavily” included
Treatments: Heat, fracture filled, irradiation, and more
Diamond Grading
Diamonds: The 4Cs
Color: GIA’s D-to-Z diamond color-grading system by using masterstones of established color value.
Clarity: The determination of the number, size, relief and the positions of inclusions.
Cut: Proportions, symmetry and polish. A diamond’s cut is about how well each facet angled to interact with light.
By Appointment Only
Most appraisals are done “While You Wait”
I analyze most of jewelry and watch appraisals while you wait, and will mail the finished and signed documents of appraisals usually within a week.
The process includes the thorough examination of your item(s) and all necessary test.
Each appraisal usually takes about thirty minutes. Once the evaluation has been completed, your jewelry or watch will be returned to you at the end of the appointment.
Complex appraisal assignments may require more time to complete. An estimated completion time will be provided at the beginning of the assignment.
Legal Firms
For settlement – A Fair Market Value appraisal
Property Division
Divorce settlement and dissolution
This is a fair market value appraisal for an equal division of common property
Prenuptial/Divorce Appraisals: My appraisals can be used to document the value and identification of jewelry items owned by either or both parties during prenuptial agreement, or to document current value of all jewelry held by one or both parties in dissolution.
Watches
In order to insure watches, you will need an updated appraisal. The appraisal will describe the item and confirm how much the item is worth.
Knowledge of watches enables me to appraise most timepieces
Jewelry Appraisal
In order to insure jewelry, you will need an updated appraisal. The appraisal will describe the item and confirm how much the item is worth.
Most insurance companies require the item to be appraised by a GIA Graduate Gemologist (G.G.), who has specialized training in jewelry appraising.
