About

I hold a Graduate Gemology degree from G.I.A., where I completed comprehensive studies in Diamond Grading and Colored Stones. Shortly after graduating, I embarked on a professional journey as a jewelry appraiser, a career that has allowed me to cultivate and apply my expertise in alignment with the standards and requirements of USPAP.

As an appraiser, my priority has always been to uphold the highest level of professionalism and to contribute to establishing a standard of excellence that resonates within the jewelry industry and beyond. Recognizing that the market is dynamic and ever-evolving, I remain committed to continuous learning and adaptability, ensuring my work consistently reflects integrity, precision, and relevance.

Services

I conduct verbal and written appraisals for:

Insurance

Estate

Trust

Fair Market Value

Liquidation

My appraisals are accepted by insurance companies across the United States for jewelry, diamonds, colored gemstones, and watches.

All appraisals are completed and certified by a GIA Gemologist Graduate.

Consultations are verbal and mostly for identification and/or authentication and to verify if a written appraisal is necessary.

(All Services are by Appointment Only)

What to Expect

Start by making an appointment.

Within 48 hours before your appointment you will receive a follow-up call and/or text to confirm.

On the day of the appraisal, your assigned appraiser will take about 15 minutes to set up (this will not count towards the service hour).

The time averages about an hour per item. More intricate pieces may take more time and can be determined during your appointment.

During this time, you are welcome to be present, observe the appraisal process, and ask questions.

If you would like to leave your items instead, we can accommodate

(this is typical for more than 2 items)
