Gina was fantastic to work with. She got me scheduled around my busy day, was professional, communicated nuances of my wedding set and immediately gave me confidence. She turned around the appraisal same day, actually before I got home! She will be my part of my support team for my other appraisal needs in the future. Trust is key and she is exceptional!

Mrs Gina was great. She was very educating and made the process of selling my precious stones very simple. I went to a couple places before finding Mrs Gina and hands down by far gave me the best offer for my stones. Will definitely contact her when I want jewelry made because not too many people anymore in that business are as honost as she is. Yes this is a real review and thank you again Mrs gina.

Ms. Watson appeared to be very knowledgeable when it came to jewelry. I, being the son of a beautiful mother who recently passed away, had no clue as to the worth of my mother"s jewelry. So my trust was entirely in Ms. Watson"s hands. Her character was warm and honest which made me feel that she was the right person to sell my mother"s jewelry to. She also possesses a very sweet and caring personality. I would sell to her again.

I was faced with clearing an estate having been appointed trustee by my Father in Law who passed away in June of this year. My Mother in Law, an accomplished Jeweler and Artisan, passed away earlier, was an avid collector of high-end Glass, Ceramics, Crystal, Artwork and China. I had absolutely no idea of the valuation of those items. Gina was able to come in and make sense of it all. She was detailed, and organized. Her appraisals along with the catalogue that she put together helped me conduct sales of the collectables. I really valued her personality and honesty. She made my job as trustee easier

Gina gives such personal attention to all her clients. She is sooo knowledgeable especially since she is GIA certified. If she doesn't know the value of an item, she will seek expert advise, just like the appraisers do on Antiques Road Show! I have done business with her for years at South Bay Jewelry, and now I'm seeking her help through the Legacy program to sell some of my antiques and collectibles through the online auction. Give her a call. You will be very pleased with her service and friendly demeanor. If you are looking to raise funds for your non-profit organization, call her. She just
