I used Jewelry Appraisals by Graduate Gemologist to verbal appraise my mother's jewelry. Tina was very professional and very knowledge and I felt totally comfortable with her appraisals. I had orgazined all the jewelry first as she suggested and wrote down notes on every piece as she appraised them in front of me. I would use this company again and highly recommend Tina for verbal appraisals!

Tina is the best appraiser I have ever been to. She is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. I had three items appraised, and additionally, she went through a large amount of my jewelry for me at a reasonable price for appraising all of it. She wanted to make sure of one of my rings was appraised correctly and had me come back and did not charge me for coming back. I really appreciate all of the information she shared with me. It was so helpful and exactly the service I needed. I will continue you to use her for all of my jewelry appraising needs. Thank you so much Tina!

Tina was absolutely incredible! I had to work with Tina to get my Engagement Ring and Wedding Band appraised after my divorce. This was a very difficult step for me to take, but she was so kind and gentle with me. She even gave me great advice on how to sell the rings to get the most money in my pocket. She is extremely professional, diligent, kind, smart, and takes her time examining the pieces. Her turnaround time for the paperwork is extremely fast as well. I HIGHLY suggest going to Tina for any sort of appraisal. I will be telling all my friends and going back to her if I ever need jewelry appraised again.

Ms. Leight was Both friendly and professional. She explained the different of the appraisal process and how different variables could affect the value of each item. The pieces never leave your sight. My wife and I brought 3 items for appraisal and it took between 45 minutes to an hour. In 1-2 days we received an electronic version of the appraisals and within a week we received hard copies. This made it very easy to provide the information to our insurance company so we could add the items to our homeowner's policy. You can't get such quick, thorough, expert service at a jewelry store and at such a reasonable price. I'll be going back again.

I highly recommend Tina Leight from “Gems Jewelry and Appraisals” for Verbal Jewelry Appraising. When I saw her listing online ~ “Jewelry Appraisals by Graduate Gemologist” ~ I had imagined someone who had recently earned this degree. However, I was delighted to discover Tina was someone with 35 years in the business, who was familiar with all different types of pieces and gems.

However, I was delighted to discover Tina was someone with 35 years in the business, who was familiar with all different types of pieces and gems. I had some estate jewelry that I didn’t know a lot about, so Tina very efficiently looked at every piece to tell me if each was costume jewelry or not, and for the ones with more value, she expertly analyzed and dictated the specifications of the types of metal and gemstones (size, weight, clarity, color, cut, etc.). She was also able to give me an estimate of era and the retail value with each piece. If one is going to have a verbal jewelry appraisal meeting, I recommend being organized (maybe tagging the items and being prepared with a system to quickly write notes about each piece she picks up) because Tina can give out SO much information very quickly. In our time together, we covered more jewelry than I thought we would. She answered all my questions and I learned a lot from her. Tina also gave me some great advice about selling some of the scrap gold pieces I had, and also valuable advice about how to sell some of the pieces I didn’t want. I am posting these pieces for sale with more confidence, since I can give more detailed specifications about everything so there would be no surprises for the buyer. I appreciate the fact that I could have my jewelry appraised while I was present, since some places insist the customers leave the pieces for a couple days. Also, since the services are rendered in a townhouse by appointment only, we weren’t distracted by other customers coming in, and I definitely got my money’s worth with the time we spent! The verbal appraisal experience was very enlightening and fun!

Tina did a wonderful job appraising my diamond ring for insurance and several other pieces of jewelry for my mother's estate. I liked that I didn't have to leave the jewelry to have it appraised. She's a reputable and experienced Graduate Gemologist (GIA) jewelry appraiser. I recommend her services for insurance and fair market estate appraisals.
