Helpfull Tips: A. Preparing For Your Appraisal Appointment: 1. Cleaning Your Jewelry: Try to have your jewelry cleaned best possibal before your appointment to save time. A thorough cleaning can be done in our office more quickly if your jewelry is reasonably clean to start out with. A mixture of a mild household liquid soap detergent and water scrubing with a soft bristle toothbrush works best. 2. Grading Certificates: Please remember to bring your GIA, AGSL, or EGL Certificates for comparison. Although we do our own Independent Appraisal, Unlike a loose stone grading, most likely we will be appraising your jewelry mounted and may need a depth measurement or diameter or actual weight to complete our appraisal. For this a loose grading cert. is helpfull. 3. Write down any questions or problems you may have had with your purchase or the jewelry being appraised so that you wont forget any major points of concern. B. Your Diamond & Jewelry Appraisal Appointment: 1. Fees and Payment Arrangements: We discuss Fees and Payment with you before we appraise your jewelry to insure client satisfaction.  Please be sure to give a 24 hour cancellation notice to reschedule or cancel an appointment. Failure to do this may result in an appointment fee if not rescheduled. For your convenience we accept: Cash, Check, Visa, MC, Amex and Discover. 2. Procedure & Consultation: We appraise your jewelry while you wait and watch. Your jewelry is in your sight at all times. We will explain each test and procedure as we perform them making it a fun enjoyable and educational experience. We Test, and Identify, Metals and Gemstones along with grading for: color, clarity, polish, proportion, as well as cut grade. We test for natural origin, including treatments. All tests and procedures are safe for your jewelry. Most clients comment on how well our work is done and how smooth it all goes. Remember to tell us about any concerns you may have. Although we have many years of appraisal experience, every item of jewelry is unique and every client is serviced to meet their individual needs and circumstances. 3. Report Preparation: Results can be given both verbally, in print, or formatted to meet: Insurance, Estate, Tax, Equitable Distribution or Collateral Loan Purposes. All our appraisal work and appropriate Certificates are for acceptance by: Insurance Companies, Banks and Attorneys and for All Legal Purposes. 4.
