Gems and Jewelry Valuation
Gems and Jewelry Valuation
The ASA appraiser is more than a jeweler or gemologist.
It is said, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. The eye of an American Society of Appraisers (ASA) Gems & Jewelry (GJ) Appraiser is the most trained of all jewelers and gemologists. Gems & Jewelry Appraisers with accreditation from ASA possess the most prestigious and widely recognized global appraisal credentials. ASA GJ Appraisers are the gold standard of gems and jewelry appraisers. Subtle differences in quality lead to dramatic differences in value. Education in gemology and knowledge of current markets provides the edge to value gems and jewelry accurately. ASA Gems and Jewelry appraisers have accumulated a lifetime of study with materials, techniques and designs of jewelry. As part of their on-going accreditations, appraisers color grading skills are periodically tested to ensure accuracy in grading colored gemstones. To maintain the Master Gemologist Appraiser® status, ASA GJ Appraisers must pass a rigorous practical examination every five years. Members of ASA’s GJ discipline are the most distinguished Gem & Jewelry appraisers in the world.
