The Language of Gems (division of KC Appraisals)

Karen's acumen and meticulous detail is all anyone requires when it comes to jewelry appraisals and teaching/learning. Everyone else is merely a student when compared to her experience, expertise and knowledge. Thanks again, Karen.

Not all jewelry appraisers are the same. It is very important to use an appraiser who is highly trained and knowledgeable. You need someone like Karen who has years of experience and all the appropriate certifications and qualifications. She knows what she is doing!I made the mistake of going to jewelry store first. They undervalued my ring by several thousand dollars. The value of jewelry can change over time and with wear and tear but this place obviously did not understand how to value unique designer piece from an master goldsmith artist. Karen knew how to value the artistry, not just the price of gold and precious stones.She was professional and candid while she explained exactly how some issues of wear and tear had diminished the value of my ring. She explained the changes in the market since the ring was purchased. I feel very confident that her appraisal was fair and current.Her rates are very reasonable. It was easy to set up an appointment, she called to confirm, she gave me very clear directions. The whole experience was very positive.
