What You Need for a Jewelry Appraisal...
The following list we have suggested will be the Best Investment you will ever make in the field of Jewelry Identification and Appraisal.
Nothing here will cost more than a few dollars, but it could save you thousands. Find out How...
Start with the Basics.
The VERY first thing you need is this Jewelry Appraisal Center and everything in it....
We provide a HUGE amount of information both at the website and inside the Kit itself, plus the site is constantly changing and upgrading with new articles and statistics including original Victorian and Edwardian jewelry drawings from manufacturing catalogues of the period. Invaluable.
You would do well to bookmark the Online Jewelry Appraisal Center into your Favorites list, and you will find the link on the top of every page.
If you have previous documentation, that will certainly help.
The original store receipt or invoice from your jeweler, or even old Appraisal Certificates which are now out of date. They may all contain weights, quality and identification details about the Jewelry you wish to value.
You will need TWO PIECES OF INEXPENSIVE equipment.
An Eyeglass and a Ruler. We realize that you do not wish to become experts in the field of Gemology and Jewelry Valuation Appraisals, but just need a few Hints and Tips as to a BASIC understanding on Gold, Gems and Antiques.
If you need to understand How a Jewelry Appraisal is put together, we strongly recommend the Appraisal Home Study Course (which anyone can do) available from the top menu links.
The number ONE item - an Eyeglass.
No need for an expensive Jeweler's Loupe which can cost hundred's of dollars. A small plastic eyeglass will give you EXACTLY the same view as a professional item. They both have the same magnification. 10xtimes.
The Professional Gemologist usually needs a slightly Sharper image which is undistorted. For our needs though, a plastic 10x eyeglass is more than up to the task. They can be purchased cheaply and are widely available.
It is important to note, we do NOT mean a magnifying Glass like the one our Antique Detective uses.

DescriptionIn today's fast-paced world of competitive workplaces and turbulent economic conditions, each of us is searching for effective tools that can help us to manage, adapt, and strike out ahead of the pack... |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A large magnifying glass like this one are not much good.... But if it helps, it's better than nothing!
While we will become something of a Detective in the Antique department, we certainly do NOT want to become Sherlock Holmes. It wouldn't look good at the local antique auction either!
Other items we suggest could be....
Shown above was a sample of the Authors personal Jewelry and Valuation tools used at home. You will see several inexpensive items which you may already have (especially in the Kitchen - Study or Workshop).
We also suggest....
- A small white plastic or china dish
- A Hole Gauge
- Child's Magnet
- A tool for measuring in millimeters.
- An old toothbrush for cleaning
- A kitchen scale (This will be the most expensive item but you may already have one, so the cost will be negative)
- Toothpicks
- Some Blue Tack or Yellow Tack
We will be adding to this list as we continue but for now you might like to recheck the Jewelry Appraisal section....
Just get the 10x Plastic eyeglass first.

Jewelry hallmarks
Professional jewelry appraisals completed by gemologists and valuers often have to take into account the effect the jewelry hallmarks have on the value of each item being appraised. Do they alter the price, up or down, depending on the hallmark. The simple answer is yes – and no. It depends on the hallmarks themselves and where they come from.
I get similar questions on forums and ‘expert’ websites, together with my own members discussion group. They are usually in the following format, and in general the same questions get asked over and over again. They go… Continue reading Jewelry Hallmarks And What They Mean...
Most people when they imagine a pearl are picturing perfect large round spherical gems, creamy white in colour with a shimmery iridescent surface. The reality is that pearls are usually irregular in shape, each one is different and to find one that is completely round is almost unheard of, not to mention trying to make a whole necklace of pearls that are all more or less the same. Natural pearls are the rarest and most highly valued variety, but nowadays most pearl jewellery is made from cultured or farmed pearls, which are grown on pearl farms… Continue reading What are the Main Differences Between Freshwater and Saltwater Pearls?...
Name jewelry is one of the trendiest types of fashion accessory for both men and women. A large part of this modern upswing in popularity is due to the hip hop culture where large name jewelry items have become the defining fashion in bling. While much of the current fashion is large, bling-style pieces, name jewelry can range from delicate and subtle to big and bold. But name jewelry is also very popular as traditional mothers jewelry. Name rings and name necklaces are by far the most popular items with online stores and retailers… Continue reading Name Jewelry Trends...

Hello,
I would like to ask from where I can buy the camera to take pictures for the appraisal.
Example like the one used by UGL in new york.
Most digital cameras these days will provide a good quality image.
