Jewelry Cost Estimator:
There have been several tools available to the Jewelry Trade which have been both expensive and highly jargonised - assuming that the end used (gemologists and Valuers) understand how to complete the requested information.
But there has never been a simple software system which the General Public could use. Until Now!
And that was a Shame because it did two important things at the same time.
- It Standardized the Value which helped to create uniformity from one appraiser, jeweler, value to another, thereby breaking the wild swings in price.
- It Created a Description (plus a photo if available) of the jewelry in question, to enable both the police (in the event of jewelry being stolen or lost) and the Manufacturing Jewelers, to have a uniform and structured format to not only identify absolutely each individual item, but sets out the design principles by which an exact replacement can be made.
Both desirable qualities.
This is why over the past four years our online Jewelry Cost Estimator System has gained popularity, not only by the Trade and small buyers and Sellers, but by the public as well.
It's inexpensive - very adaptable and extremely convenient to the end user who never has to part with their jewelry or send it away somewhere.
It was the very reason the jewelry Appraisal Center was created in the first place.
We currently have three packages available starting a a very reasonable price for our Do-it-Yourself program, but we also have an Appraisal Advisory Service where a qualified gemologist valuer will check the information you may have entered into the Cost Estimator Software, and even a completely 'Hands-Off' Service in the Staff Assist Program for those who do not have the time to complete the work themselves.

Truly a wide range of options with a price available for everyone.
Plus we have recently added a simple Gold Only Jewelry Cost Estimator which is an email report delivered directly into clients In-Boxes at Home or Work. See the Gold Value Calculator for details.
There is a very Special Trial price at the moment and there are other calculators currently in beta testing on Bracelets, Chains, Necklaces, Bangles, Brooches, Cuff-links, Wedding Bands, Plain Signet rings and so on.
Stay tuned because we will offer them at out very special instruction trial price as they become available.
Personally, I feel we have proven the system and the service, judging from the many satisfied clients all over the world who continue to return and add another Kit into their Jewelry Valuation Manager Account - another complimentary Bonus Add-on only available at the Jewelry Appraisal Center.
The reasons are clear - don't leave it too late (although even that is an option) because you need to have your jewelry itemized and described - even if you do not want to have them insured.
Please do NOT think the Jewelry Cost Estimator Software Solution is only for the benefit of insurance companies. It is for ANYONE who wants to buy - or sell - or record - or just find out what their jewelry is worth.
These software tools are easy - Qualified help is always available - Trained Technical Assistants are personally there to get the very best possible outcome for you.
Use them. We Guarantee you'll be happy with the end result. Check the Jewelry Evaluation page
Kind regards, Please take care and watch the road...

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...
