Well I just had to meet the man...so off to Sarasota I went. Jewelry clutched in my little hand, I met Rich and let me tell you - it was worth every minute of the 4 hour plane ride, the 2.25 hour drive and wait while he worked his magic. He was not only very skilled and knowledgable, but very patient and friendly. He took his time w/ every piece - he spent 5 hours appraising our jewelry and I felt each piece got his undivided attention. Although I forgot the GIA certs at home (many states away), he was understanding and we worked around my lapse in memory. Overall - I can''t say enough about him. I feel my appraisals were very accurate and in fact for all the cases, Rich didn''t know what I paid for each peice before he did the appraisal yet, when all was said and done, all of the pieces appraised higher than I paid for them...also, he knows a custom designer in the same building - I checked out some of the designer''s work and it''s spactacular!...My only dilemma know is between Glen (the designer) and M. Morrell....
IMO - Any need for appraisals - Rich Sherwood is the one to see...
