Another fantastic before and after for repairs. This is a specialized invisible setting with princess cut diamonds. Invisible setting makes a gorgeous, large surface look that takes a talented jeweler years to perfect.

If we can handle this, we can also handle your repair needs as well!

We’ve had another busy week here, appraising the newly engaged and settling estates for heirs. One thing has stood out consistently over the last several months: online shopping disappointments. The number of clients coming in with incredibly inflated prices on items from online TicTok stores and TV shopping shows has been increasing. It’s getting worse due to the marketing and psychological sales tactics these outlets use.

Please, buyer beware. If you see something on TV or online, give us a call. We offer free 15-minute consultations and can guide you through a purchase that will be worth your time and money. Our network of trusted retailers is dedicated to providing you with the best jewelry-buying experience, so you can feel confident about your purchase.

As independent and unbiased appraisers in the industry, we have the opportunity to serve you in the best way possible. We have knowledge you can trust.

Is your local bank branch closing? We see many in our area closing locations that offer safe deposit box service. These clients have been notified to collect the contents of their safe deposit boxes and are now coming to our office to have the jewelry appraised for home insurance riders on their homeowners' policies.

If that is you or someone you know, reach out to us, and we can help you navigate those documents to achieve the best insurance outcome for your valuables.

Recently, we had a client in the office needing their online and yard sale purchases properly identified. Most of the items were genuine, and a ‘deal’ was found, except for one. A ‘vintage’ Rolex in the lot was not genuine, and they paid a premium for it, with no recourse available. A sad scenario we see all too often.

We help with pre-purchase consultations to avoid the issue of fakes in the marketplace and direct you to trusted sources for all your purchases. Come see us before a high-dollar exchange. We have knowledge you can trust.
