| Appraisals and Gem Identification |
|
Our GIA Graduate Gemologist, Marie Renteria, uses state of the art laboratory instruments and advanced technology for the examination and evaluation of diamonds, gemstones, precious metals, and jewelry items.
Each stone loose or set is checked to determine if it is genuine, synthetic, or imitation, and is examined for Clarity, Cut, and Color, as well as size and Carat weight. All jewelry is evaluated for its metal content, the quality of workmanship and design. Color photographs of the jewelry accompany the Certified Appraisal Documents for insurance and estate purposes.
As buyers and sellers at Ariadne Fine Jewelry®, we know fair market values and appreciation potentials and we are familiar with replacement costs. The fees imposed for appraisal work are very reasonable and discounts are available for multiple items at a time.
For customers who do not need an appraisal document, but want to know the identity of their jewelry, we offer gem identification services for a nominal fee. Call for appointment for either appraisals or gem identification.
