Founded in 1989, The Jewelry Judge is the first Professional Appraisal organization to specialize in Jewelry Appraisals only. All work is done in front of the client in a private laboratory, not in a Jewelry store. Protecting the consumer has always been the priority at the Jewelry Judge. Because we don't buy or sell, our only objective is to give the consumer, accurate, honest information about their jewelry. Whether the purpose of the appraisal is purchase confirmation, insurance coverage, divorce or estate, at the Jewelry Judge, your documentation is as compete as possible, with full desriptions and full grading reports on diamonds over 1 carat. "The Jewelry Judge blends together art and science, to preserve the past and protect the future." "At the Jewelry Judge, we don't buy or sell jewelry... We Appraise it!"
