Certified Antique & Gem Valuations

I specialize in jewelry, loose gemstones, and select antique and vintage decorative objects. This includes rings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, diamonds and colored gemstones, as well as fine art, porcelain, clocks, and small collectible antiques.
If you’re unsure whether your item qualifies, feel free to submit a request and I’ll let you know if it’s within my scope of practice.

In-person evaluations may be available by arrangement when necessary and geographically feasible.es here

Most appraisals are completed within 14–21 business days after payment and receipt of all required information and photographs.
Complex items or multi-item appraisals may require additional time, which will be discussed in advance.

Pricing is based on the type of item, level of research required, and the intended use of the appraisal (insurance, estate, resale, or personal knowledge). After reviewing your submission and photographs, I will provide a clear price quote. A research deposit is required to begin the appraisal process and is applied toward the total appraisal fee. Any remaining balance is due upon completion of the written report prior to delivery.

IAppraisals are prepared using recognized industry standards and include detailed descriptions, valuation methodology, supporting market data, and professional credentials.
While acceptance ultimately depends on the specific insurer, legal authority, or financial institution, reports are suitable for insurance documentation, estate planning, and resale purposes. Clients should confirm individual requirements with their insurer or attorney when needed.tem description
