I am curious as to how much a pendant
such as this would cost and whether insurance is a necessary option? ''

Necessary option? Absolutely. The lesser of two evils!
But resistance was still there. In the High Street or Shopping Malls the fee was too expensive. The typical rate THEY charge for a Valuation Appraisal is a Flat Base fee plus one percent of the final value. If an item was Appraised at $1000 dollars, the cost of the Certificate would be $20 + $10 = $30 total. This was also calculated on a sliding scale - The dearer the valuation, the more it cost for the Certificate. Sometimes hundreds of dollars, just for a few items.
Our Online Jewelry Appraisal Kit has a single flat fee. That's it...!
Plus clients were still worried about someone stealing their Jewelry while it was being valued and out of their sight!
Never happens, by the way, but I have heard of a Jewelry firm who once lost a customer's bracelet. They eventually replaced it but....
Most people don't have a
current Jewelry Valuation Appraisal -
Don't be one of them!

Time passed and I eventually retired early
(so I thought) only to get involved with a website specializing in
Antique Jewelry and Gems.
I knew a Valuation in the Lab or a retail store could take up to an hour or more, depending on the gemstones involved. We had to have thousands of dollars for microscopes, refractometers and dichroscopes, just to process it all. Specialized people with specialized equipment.
We are not talking about the quick scribbled description jotted down on the letterhead of some High Street Jewelers here, but a professional Valuation Appraisal by a qualified gemologist Valuer. Someone you had to make an appointment to see and where it seemed you paid for the privilege.
There had to be a better system.
What we needed was a quicker, more automatic way of doing things.
Something that ANYONE could use with lots of Help menus and Tips to guide you through. Something which felt as though an Antique Dealer, Gemologist, Jeweler Valuer was right there with you, in your own Home or Workplace looking over your shoulder.
Thanks to the Internet, the Valuation Self Appraisal Kit was born.
Perfectly designed for up-to-the-minute Modern Jewelry, which after two years of development we not
only wrote a software program which would value almost any jewelry, but we built into
it the ability to adjust prices for Antique, Vintage and Collectable Estate
Jewelry items as well.
As it grew (and boy did it grow) the programmers added subtle touches and design features until it could do extraordinary things.
Calculate in your currency. Dollars, Pounds, Yen, Euros etc.
Works in seven different currencies,
which means if you Don't
live in the States, the
Appraisal Certificate will print the calculations in
YOUR Money.
Adjust the price for Victorian or Edwardian and Antique items.
includes Art Deco,
Retro and many other periods. Now if you have an older item of
Jewelry the Kit will adjust the prices for you.
Values Rings Bracelets Chains Pendants Brooches Men's Jewelry
items
like Cufflinks Fobs Lockets and Stickpins too. We
would be surprised if the system couldn't value your
Jewelry safely and securely from home.
Has a built-in database with the current prices of Diamonds, Opals and Gems
Sapphires,
Ruby, Emerald plus 100's of other gems. Gemstones make up the
largest part of any Valuation and our database is
updated with the prices and grades of many gemstones.
Why? So you don't have to concern yourself with such
intricate details. You just want the bottom line -
right?
Can value jewelry with several DIFFERENT multiple settings
White, Rose and
multicolored gold, silver or Platinum. An appraiser
will take these facts into consideration so our Kit does
too. You need not worry about them.
Plus so many other features it's hard to list them all.
It even writes the description on the Certificate.

" I must say, it's great to see that there are people who still run their business in such a caring honest way. You guys are the best! I'll be recommending your site to others." |
The Software program behind the Kit runs on OUR Secure Server, so there's no need to you to be concerned about updates, or any of these successive problems, because the Valuation Self Appraisal Kit will do it for you - automatically.
What is the price of Gold today?
Our
On-Line database updates regularly with the latest prices so
you don't have to worry. That's just another simple
trick which takes pressure off you.
What does a Jeweler Charge to make an item?
The Kit has this information built in and converts it into your currency.
Besides, why should you care? You just need the final
figure, you don't need to know any of these other details.
Is an Antique item valued more than a New item?
With 30 years of experience in the Antique Jewelry Business, the Kit is programmed to know. You just want the answers - Not a Lesson in Antiquities.

There doesn't seem to be anyone in my
area who knows anything about antique jewelry of any kind. I was
trying to find someone to see if it's worth anything ... what era it
came from etc. '' |
In fact our 'Do-it-Yourself Jewelry Valuation Appraisal Kit' is so smart it can calculate hundreds of variables with accurate up-to-the-minute prices instantly without you even being aware of it. That's what a good appraisal system should do.
For example...
It will ask you if your item is made from Gold, Silver or Platinum and will adjust the prices accordingly. It will even calculate the difference between 'Rose' gold or Yellow gold, in any carat quality, with or without a Hallmark.
Phew!
And all you had to do was answer a simple drop down box question to select the right choice. Too Easy....

Still not sure...?Still the skeptic eh? Well that's okay. I've been one for years. Remember the Valuation Self Appraisal Kit was never intended for public use. It was designed for the Jewelry Trade (me in particular) to make life easier. It wanted a method I could use in our Jewelry Antiques website. With this system (and we use it ourselves - everyday) we can complete complicated valuations, set prices, get descriptions and provide our loyal and happy clients with Certificates on each and every item we sell.

I took this ring to my local jeweler
and he thought it was a very nice stone but in his words "wasn't worth
thousands". It has come out being worth $10477.00 in your valuation
kit. '' |

However, you will be expected to do some VERY basic measurements on the Jewelry you will be Valuing, but nothing complicated.
