Garwoods Gem Request

Insurance Appraisals starting at $55

As with any repair work you leave with us, when you leave a piece for appraisal,
we document what you are leaving and give you a copy of that information.
Your jewelry is then cleaned and our appraiser performs the following steps
when applicable: measures individual stones, grades stones for color, clarity
and cut, tests the metal and weighs the pieces. Based on this information she
determines a value for your jewelry, takes digital photographs of each piece and
creates the appraisal document. *See below for a an update on our appraisal
services.

Additional Services:
♦ Lab Report Verification
♦ Gemstone Identification
♦ Diamond Plotting (Mapping)
♦ Diamond Consultation
♦ Appraisal Update
♦ Digital Pictures CD

*Please note that our appraisal services have undergone a slight modification.
We will still offer the same great appraisal service as before, but our in-house appraiser, Liz
Swenson, will now be available on a part-time basis. This means appraisals will be conducted by
grouped appointments every couple of weeks, or as needed. We will continue to accept
appraisals at any time, but the completion time may be a bit longer if you choose to bring them in
when she is not here. If you are interested in having your jewelry professionally documented for
insurance or estate purposes, please refer back to this website or call 970.482.2205 to find out
when Liz will be here. To help the process go smoothly, it is also helpful if you drop off
your items a day or two before Liz is scheduled to work and to bring any previous
documentation you may have for your items.

Liz's Upcoming Schedule
Please call for updates or check website regularly. * If you would like more information please call or e-mail with your contact info and we'll be sure to update you on Liz's schedule.
