Diamond Ring Evaluation in Westchester County, NY

After contacting us and setting up an appointment with our Certified Gemologist Appraiser, you can visit us in Rye, NY or we will go to your residence or office.  If the jewelry appraiser comes to you, he will bring all of the equipment necessary to perform the appraisal.  Regardless, the actual jewelry appraisal will be done right in front of you and the jewelry will never leave your sight.  At the end, the jewelry appraiser will give you all of the information verbally about your jewelry and answer all your questions to your satisfaction.  Any GIA diamond certificates or other lab certificates you received with the purchase of your diamond will be compared and confirmed.  After the appointment, the jewelry appraiser will prepare a full written jewelry appraisal report which includes a full and accurate description and photographs.  All single and two item jewelry appraisals will be mailed within one week.

First, the gemologist will test the center diamond and all of the side diamonds to make sure they are real.  The center diamond will be analyzed to determine its clarity, color, cut, carat weight, and other important parameters.  The side diamonds will also be evaluated, as well as the metal of the mounting.  Your new jewelry appraisal will include  a full description with photographs and the approximate replacement value of the engagement ring.
