COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS
OF JEWELLERY APPRAISALS
REMOVING
GEMSTONES
We use mathematical formulas, master comparison stones, specialized lighting, and gemological equipment to weigh and verify authenticity, so we do not need to remove your gemstones.
IT HAS TO BE SENT AWAY
Not the case with us, sometimes we can do the appraisal right in front of you and give you a same day service.
ALL APPRAISALS
ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL
INDUSTRY CERTIFICATION
Certified Graduate Gemologist
OWN PROPER EQUIPMENT
Microscope, ultra-violet light, polariscope, refractometer, a diffraction scope, polarizing filter, carat/gram scale, master diamonds, leverage gauge, table gauge, chelsea filter, digital callipers, immersion fluid, balanced daylight and incandescent lighting, spectra scope.
PROPER EXPERIENCE
We have almost 20 years of experience and we handle most of Calgary’s & southern Alberta trusted independent Jewellery stores.
EVERY JEWELLERY PIECE
GOES UP IN VALUE
Value is determined by currency, supply and demand, and where and tear. Just because you purchased it for X, that doesn’t mean it will hold it’s same market value. We have to consider chips, missing stones, wear and tear
MULTIPLE PIECES CAN BE INCLUDED IN A JEWELLERY APPRAISAL
This is definitely not the case. An appraisal is for EACH Jewellery piece, sets are separated and appraised individually
