Appraise Your Holiday Jewelry Gifts
As the holiday season approaches, do not forget the importance of jewelry appraisals—both before gifting and after receiving. A post-holiday appraisal safeguards your investment and ensures accurate insurance coverage.
Caring for Your Jewelry with Turquoise, Tanzanite and Zircon
December’s birthstones—Turquoise, Tanzanite, and Zircon—are beautiful but require special care.
Appraising Your Citrine & Topaz
As we head into the holiday season, now is an ideal time to have your gemstone jewelry appraised—especially pieces featuring topaz and citrine. These vibrant stones are popular in November birthstone jewelry and deserve expert evaluation.
Caring for Your Topaz & Citrine
Topaz and citrine may share November as their birth month, but both require special care to keep their beauty shining. Topaz is more delicate and prone to chipping, while citrine can fade when exposed to excessive heat or light.
Appraising Your Opals
When having an opal appraised, be sure to work with a qualified gemologist who understands the unique grading factors that influence value for these gemstones.
Caring for Your Opals
Opals are beautiful but delicate gemstones. With a modest rating on the hardness scale, they are suitable for jewelry but should be worn with care to avoid scratches or breaks.
