Diamond Appraisals

Buy your diamond with full security, guaranteeing a minimum future loss. Diamond appraisals refer to an accurate assessment of the jewel bought, specifying its actual value and hence, it's worth. An appraisal is an opinion confirming the authenticity, quality, design and value of a piece of jewelry. Since it is an informed and individually reached opinion, however, an appraisal will vary from one expert to another.

It is very important to have your diamond appraised. While a gem may appear flawless to the naked eye, an expert will be able to locate a value-limiting inclusion under a microscope. They will also be able to discern whether your gem is genuine or fake. Having your diamond appraised by a reputable laboratory, like the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), can drastically affect the value of your jewelry.

Other important reasons for having an appraisal done include future concerns – an estate or marriage settlement, sale between parties or cash realization. Again, to keep pace with the rapidly changing market conditions, have a reputable source examine and appraise your diamond every two or three years.
