Why Not Value it YOURSELF?

A question came in today and is typical of the Jewelry Appraisal problems most people face.
The solution may be just right for you too - and it's not much of a risk either..!

QUESTION..?

I have a diamond ring marked 10k and it also has a diamond symbol with A141 Do you know the value of a ring such as this and what the markings mean? Thanks so much

ANSWER..!

There are many aspects which go into a Valuation Appraisal, not least the gold weight as well as the quality. 10K answers one side of that question but not how heavy it is etc?

The other marks in the diamond outline is probably a Maker's Stock Number or Mark and adds nothing to the price.

Apart from those considerations we would also need to know how the item was set, in what condition, how old is is, the design or any special features. All these go into the way an appraiser calculates a final price.

However the MOST important part of any jewelry is the gemstone, and this has a whole set of rules on its own.

What Shape - Cut - Color - Clarity - Carat weight - Wear and so on. These are Imposible to know without seeing the item to be valued - UNLESS....

You Value it..!

At the Jewelry Appraisal Center ANYONE can value their own jewelry ONLINE because YOU can see, feel, measure and touch the item being appraised (lots of help menus to get you through).

For one very low fee the software program even writes the Certificate for you, which you can print on your printer at Home. How safe it that?

I'm biased - of course - because I wrote the software, but we have clients (both in the Trade or First Time Users) who get their Jewelry Valued this way.

You can find the Appraisal Center at: http://www.online-jewelry-appraisals.com and simply follow the steps.

Hope this helps...
