I got an appraisal of my wedding ring and a necklace on relatively short notice. I also had a set of earrings, which tom immediately told me were costume jewelry (with no charge). He also gave me a very rough estimate of value on the necklace so I could decide if it was worth enough to even get the appraisal - where he could have just taken my money without questions. I appreciated his honesty and really liked that I did not need to leave my jewelry. He did the appraisal right in front of me on a Saturday and delivered the report by email the next Monday. And he has locations across the valley - so he makes it easy and and he is affordable. If you need an appraisal- he's your guy!!!
