They Laughed When I Said I Wanted To Value My Own Jewelry From Home....

...But You Should Have Seen Their Faces When I Showed Them My Certificate.

"G'day... My name is David and I would like to take you on one such journey.

In fact it became one of the reasons the Valuation Self Appraisal Kit was developed in the first place."

It was about my Stepmother.

She was getting annoyed and irritable. No-one knew what the problem was until she began to ask teasing little questions.

"Have you seen any jewelry lying around?" or "Not seen my Wedding Band, have you. The one I kept on the Bedroom drawers."

It was her mother's ring and had been handed down. Now it was gone.

The words 'irreplaceable' and 'sentimental value' kept being mentioned.

Despite a thorough search, it never turned up. No-one could have taken it so it remains a mystery to this day.

• Thankfully we had a solution.

My Father had the foresight to get an appraisal valuation done on all my stepmothers jewelry. Being methodical, he had also taken photos.

The Certificate listed every detail including the weight, age, gold quality (it was 22ct), width across the band, shape and style, even the rose gold color was mentioned in the description plus the engraving inside the band with the Hallmark date was listed on the document.

Inside a couple of weeks it was replaced. It could never be the same of course, but it was identical in every other detail.

Problem solved but it taught me a lesson I'll never forget....

• Don't Wait Until It's Too Late.

Many years later I qualified as a gemologist and went on to become a Member of the Valuers Council. I saw first hand exactly what pain and disappointment came with the loss of a client's irreplaceable treasures.

Many of the requests came from distraught and saddened clients, but there was ALWAYS one thing they had in common....

• They all left it too late. The request came AFTER their loss!

As we also owned a small family business, specializing in Antique and Estate Jewelry, I knew how hard it was to replace these lost items.

We did what we could, of course. My wife, Patricia brought calm to our clients and handled their details, while my son, a qualified Manufacturing jeweler in his own right, would recreate the missing treasure to an almost fastidious manner.

Too fussy sometimes. But he had to get it right!

Yet we still got the "It won't happen to me" crowd through the door.

• 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!

Start your Valuation Appraisal Kit Now - before it's too late.

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.

But then Patricia had an idea...

Why not develop our Online Software Jewelry Appraisal System one step further and let everyone use it!

As I have ALWAYS lived by the principle of Happy Wife = Happy Life so it comes as no big surprise that we began to evaluate this concept.

It wasn't easy but with the right questions, anyone - and I do mean anyone - could play the Appraisal game and become a winner.

The task was to make it so easy my granddaughter could do it. (she's eight!)

With multiple choice questions and drop down boxes, lots of Help menus and illustrations (many from Victorian and Edwardian drawings and catalog's) we created the kit to step you through from one section to another seamlessly.

The Kit contains prompts and examples every step of the way (so you'll never get lost) and you'll certainly learn as you go.

We kept the Jargon out as much as possible, but if we use terms you don't understand there's no need to worry because the ONLINE System has pages to explain them all. Worth the price on its own.

Plus it has other Advantages....

• No expensive Fees

AND it contains valuable Hints, Advice, Tips and a checklist

Packed with answers to your questions with information not available elsewhere within our websites

• Which will save you both Time and Money.

How...?

Because our Self Appraisal Valuation Kit can be equal to the task for a fraction of the specialized service in a shorter timeframe, and costs much 'LESS'. Lots Less....

AND YOUR JEWELRY NEVER HAS TO LEAVE YOUR POSSESSION.

How Safe Is That?

What Is The REAL Bottom Line And Why Should We Care? After All - It's Your Jewelry Right..?

It's all about 'Risk...'

To put things in perspective. Is becoming the 'Victim of Loss' worth just US$19.95 (less if you take our Multiple Kit Special Offer available right now inside the program).

That's not a Great risk, is it? Not securing your Jewelry is...

• In the Shopping Mall the other week. A Pizza and Coke cost more than that!

So what have you got to lose? (other than your Jewelry, I mean).

• Loose change?
• A toll-way fee?
• Bus Fare?
• A Drink?
• Cinema tickets?

Please, do me a favor. If you still don't see the point, or the few dollars spent seems to be too much, then God speed and I pray you'll never regret your decision to click away or Browse to a more graphical 'Flash' website.

It is my personal belief that you not only need to do this, (even if it's just for your more treasured jewelry) but you really have no choice.

• Insurance for your Jewelry is the lesser of two evils.

Damned if you do but damned if you don't.

• Without a Certificate you can't get insurance on individual or expensive quality items.

You wouldn't want just $500 from the 'Household Insurance Cover' for an item worth thousands, would you?

BUT THAT COULD REALLY HAPPEN IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!

• I hope you'll never need to get something replaced.
• I trust you'll know instinctively what something is worth.
• If you have the ability to browse through an eBay page and know what's a fair and accurate price, then you are a very lucky person indeed.

You're going to need that luck.

Otherwise I suggest you dust off your Baubles, Bangles and Beads and spend a little time with our Online Jewelry Self Valuation Kit

• Jewelry Appraisals have never been easier.

It could be the best 20 minutes you'll ever spend.
