Appraisal is a serious business! The first thing required in hiring an appraiser is that you must decide what it is that you want to know from the appraisal process. The first thing required in hiring an appraiser is that you must decide what it is that you want to know.

The item in question is jewelry, it's new, and that you are looking for information that will be useful in either returning it to the seller or for purposes of insurance coverage if you decide to keep it.The item is in your possession and it will be possible for the appraiser to physically examine it.
Appraisals for sellers are a key tool to provide confidence to both parties to the transaction. Individuals sell jewelry regularly and for a variety of reasons. 1 What do you have? As a seller, it's important to know the facts or you aren't going to be able to negotiate well with your potential buyers and it's easy to confuse your advertisements and the advertisements of the people you bought from with these facts.
Attorneys are offered services both directly and on behalf of clients in need of gemological and appraisal services. We take expert witness work seriously. We are experienced with forensic examinations for post-loss appraisal work and have experience with divorce, charitable contribution, estate valuation and other situations that most appraisers will shy away from.
Insurance appraisals make it easier for you to bind a policy and in the unfortunate case of a claim, it makes it easier for you to make your clients whole again. For homeowners, you must provide insurance appraisals in order to be indemnified for replacement cost. In the insurance industry, "replacement cost" or "replacement cost value" is one of several method of determining the value of an insured item.
If this was a new purchase, the seller probably made some representations at the time. Your appraiser may or may not have agreed with them. If you found important discrepancies in the description, these should be clearly spelled out in the description section of the report. If the appraiser thought that your diamond was misgraded, this will be clearly stated in the description.

Neil is such a great guy. He not only did a great job on the appraisal, but he also explained everything and told us what the insurance company would need etc. Additionally he gave us so much information about diamonds and ours specifically. It was a wonderful experience and I would utilize his services in the future!

I recently had my engagement ring appriased by Neil, he is extremely professional and did the appraisal while I waited - no dropping off the ring and having to pick it up at a later date! Would highly recommend his services. Thanks, Neil!

I was referred to Neil Beaty through a consumer advocacy website. I was having my engagement diamond reset into a new setting a few years ago. The jeweler was in NY, I am in CA and Neil was in Colorado. I was very nervous and wanted Neil to be my 'middle man'. He unset my stone and appraised it unset. Then sent the stone to the designer who was creating the setting. After the stone was reset, it was sent to Neil again for him to appraise the piece now set.

When I lost my ring late last year Neil's bullet proof appraisal is what helped me negotiate with my insurance policy. Because

Just wanted to leave a review of my very positive experience w/ Neil at American Gem Registry. I found him through the AGS (https://www.americangemsociety.org/en/appraiser-search-results?state=CO) website and had wanted him to independently verify my loose diamond for symmetry using ASET and Idealscope.

Neil works by appointment only, and it was very easy to schedule via an email and phone confirmation. I went w/ my parents on a weekend (Neil is open on Saturdays from 9-2 pm by appointment only), and it was fortunate he could see us on a weekend since I am only in town on weekends.

Most helpful.
He was open and honest about my past purchase of gems. He did an appraisal and saved me a fair amount of change through his honesty. It wasn't the news I wanted, but he didn't string me along. Very pleased with my visit.

Very knowledgeable and friendly. As I walked in I had an immediate sense of trust and professionalism.

I was there to have my ring appraised for insurance purposes and I have very limited knowledge about gems( as I am sure most of the community does as well). It's a bit like learning a foreign language. However Neil was truly helpful and thorough with his explanation of the ratings of my diamond. Which made the whole process a lot easier. He took time to explain the ratings and was able to demonstrate what he saw under the magnifying glass by projecting it on a large screen TV so that

Neil was extremely knowledgeable and honest. Overall a great experience, we learned a lot about the history and processes behind the pieces we brought in.

We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an appraisal of their jewelry. However, plan on spending a little time doing it, this is not a quick 15 min stop in the mall.

Today was my first experience having jewlery appraised. Neil was so awesome and explained everything very clearly and made me feel very comfortable with his fair value of my rings.

I highly recommend Neil!

Free parking, convenient location off of I-25, safe/secure building, and friendly conversation made my jewlery appraisal easy and fun!

Neil is fantastic! Went in this morning to get a diamond "recertified" and it was a really great experience. He was capable of the GIA certs, but in my case it wasnt necessary. He has quite the set up in his shop and i was very impressed with his high degree of professionalism throughout the process

I was able to ask him a multitude of questions, and was even able to ask him questions about the new setting. Since he has been in the jewellry business for about 20 years he knows quite a bit. He explained prices on the setting I was considering and what to expect from local jewellers. He

Over the years I have referred many clients to American Gem Registry and I just want to say how comfortable I am sending my clients to Neil for an unbiased opinion on any piece of jewelry.

His in depth knowledge of not only the jewelry and diamond markets and his understanding of what makes a good appraisal is a constant source of amazement to me. Unlike so many appraisers who just write up what they think is a value, Neil takes the time to listen to his clients and write a report based on which market the appraisal is for, whether it be for an estate, for insurance or some other use that

Neil is an astonishing expert, and likely the most experienced appraiser in the entire state, if not the entire country. GIA and AGS certification/training (to name a few), are you kidding me?! Why would you go anywhere else?! From the moment I walked in, Neil spent more than enough time answering my questions, and gave me a history on differences in diamond cut and grading from different labs that was absolutely fascinating. Never, during the entire visit, did I feel rushed. It is evident from Neil's enthusiasm that he takes a lot of pride in what he does, and he passes that on to the consumer

I went to Neil today for a ring appraisal after I got a bad feeling from my first (unprofessional) appraiser. It was an appraisal for engagement ring bought online. Neil was so nice, helpful, and professional. I watched the entire appraisal and Neil let me ask 1 million questions and took the time to educate me, which I really appreciated! The report was complete and explained clearly. Thank you Neil!
