Services for Other BusinessesI always disclose if there is a conflict of interest so that the client can decide if they want me to do an appraisal or not.
OpinionI have over 13 years experience as a jewelry appraiser and over 24 years experience in the jewelry industry. Appraising is a great service for the consumer to actual know what they bought or was given. Some sellers of jewelry do not have the knowledge to really tell you accurately what you are buying.
* Note: I do the appraisals at a bank office or at your office or home. I can often make an appointment with you on the same day that you call or within a few days.

Services for Other BusinessesI am an independant appraiser that sets up at independat jewelry stores for appraisal promotion days. The client can stay in the store and wait for their appraisal.
OpinionA jewelry appraisal is largely a matter of research, you are the source for sales records of personal property such as jewelry. If you withhold documents at the beginning of an appraisal, then produce them for consideration after the appraisal is complete, the appraiser has every right to charge you for the extra time it will take to re-check his original estimates. You will not benefit in the end by playing "mind games" with your appraiser.
* Note: I travel out of state all expenses paid by client plus a daily rate. I work by appointment only, payment cash or check.
