Money Found in the Most Unlikely Places

The executrix of an estate came to me to sell jewelry after a loved one passed away. To her surprise, she and her family found a diamond ring hiding somewhere they never expected to look.

She needed my help obtaining a GIA (Gemological Institute of America) report to fully understand the value of the diamond.

Once I received the report, I could begin to ascertain the diamond's value in the marketplace.

I took it to as many potential buyers as possible. I went to three auction houses, an estate buyer, and a diamond buyer to gain a clearer picture of its price potential in the prevailing diamond market.

I did my due diligence and was able to receive multiple offers. We ultimately went with a generous offer, 2.5 times more than the initial quote!

It doesn't matter how old your diamond is. Every diamond has value.

Obtaining a GIA report and working with a knowledgeable consultant assures you will get the highest return for your jewelry.

the GIA report of this diamond

To best protect you and an estate, it is important to fully understand the value of all items and jewelry within it. With a GIA report, we will be able to negotiate the best price.

With over three decades of experience in appraising jewelry, I can easily evaluate a report from the Gemological Institute of America and explain these reports to my clients.

When buying or selling a diamond, these reports are very valuable in the pricing and negotiation. My client found unexpected money when clearing out the home. This money helped offset the costs associated with the estate.

TIP: When selling a larger single diamond, a GIA report is invaluable. I can help to have your diamond graded and evaluated so we can get the maximum amount of money for your jewelry.

Call me with any questions.
