Report

Did you know in the case of a loss and insurance claim, an inferior appraisal can leave you with less than your original item of jewelry? Many appraisers are not qualified or prepare an appraisal that is not up to professional standards which your insurance company could use to deny your claim. Answer: Jewelry and gemstones of ANY kind (except those purchased for very high prices), are a terrible investment.

Report

During these trying times, I hope you are all finding ways to keep busy and enjoy life. I've rediscovered my home! During this crisis I've spent time using every room in my home, something I've never done before! Oh sure, I've been in the rooms, for something I may have stored there, or maybe to water a plant.

Pandemic

Report

We are all collectively going through very tough, unprecedented times. We miss our normal routines and seeing our family, our friends, our clients & customers. The Pandemic has closed so many businesses and people are having tough times making ends meet. I know people are not thinking about having jewelry appraised.

Report

I've sent 6 clients back to Jewelers, this week alone, because they didn't get what they paid for! Some had "appraisals" written by the sellers, for way too high a value stating, not just higher prices, but much better grades than they actually purchased. All of these 6 purchases were made somewhere in the Caribbean, while on a cruise.

Testimonials

Report

After a ton of research online about how best to sell a diamond ring for my mother, I decided that getting an appraisal first was the best way to begin. We decided to visit Barry Block in Carle Place. The prior reviews were excellent and going with an independent appraiser made sense so much sense.
