A GIA Graduate Gemologist on the premises
Our appraisals are prepared in the store by a GIA Graduate Gemologist, and your jewelry stays with us the whole time.
Is an appraisal the same as a GIA report?
No. A grading report describes the diamond. An appraisal values the finished ring for insurance, and we prepare those in the store.
Does my ring leave the store?
No. It stays with us the whole time.
