All jewelry appraisals through Gem Diary LLC are scheduled by appointment. During your appointment your jewelry will be thoroughly examined and photographed, noting condition, age, and special characteristics of your jewelry and gemstones.
Your written document will be mailed to you in approximately one week, after the research and calculations of value are completed and the details of the written document are finalized.
In preparing for your appointment please keep the following in mind:
Inspect and clean your jewelry : Try to have your jewelry as clean as possible before your appointment. Inspect your jewelry and make a note of the condition of each item.
Collect grading certificates and receipts: Any previous documents – receipts and appraisals are always helpful during a new appraisal appointment. Please remember to bring any GIA, AGSL, or EGL Certificates for comparison.
Write your questions: Write down questions you may have with the jewelry being appraised so we can be sure to research and answer them.
