Unbiased, independent contractor working primarily through jewelry stores, pawn shops, attorneys, cpa's and bank trust departments. I provide services such as complete appraisal documents for insurance, estates, equitable distribution, donations, divorces and gifts.

I began providing appraisals part time to local jewelry stores in 1988 under the corporate name of Professional Jewelry Appraisals, Inc. , as a Graduate Geologist, GIA. In 1996 the retail store I worked in closed. As a result, full time, extended area accounts were formed. Many of the accounts have standing appointed days, with fixed hours where they can count on my appearance every week. That has worked out well and I continue to offer that service. I also accept many one time offers.
