Frequently Asked Questions
Why Choose A Jewelry Judge Appraiser?
This innovative association of elite jewelry appraisal professionals
extends throughout the United States and Canada and gives you a convenient
way to discover the true value of your jewelry. In most states and provinces,
jewelry appraising is not a regulated or licensed profession. That means
that you, the consumer, have no way of knowing if your appraiser is qualified
or if the document you receive is up to professional standards accepted
by insurance companies. Further, in the case of a loss and insurance claim,
an inferior appraisal can leave you with less than your original item
of jewelry.
By visiting a Jewelry Judge Appraisal Center, you can rest assured that
all persons doing your appraisal are fully qualified with gemological
and appraisal training. Our "While You Watch" concept gives
you the opportunity to learn and participate in the appraisal process
from beginning to end. You'll also have the comfort of knowing that your
jewelry never leaves your sight. The appraisal process is fast, professional, providing you with instant results that can be used when insuring your valuable items.
Important warning...
Never have your jewelry appraised by someone who charges a fee based
on the value of your jewelry. This can influence the value to inflated
levels to obtain a higher fee. The by-laws of every appraisal organization
and of The Jewelry Judge state that this is an unethical practice.

- Honest, ethical evaluations of your jewelry.
