Gemological Resources

My husband and I got our rings appraised through this company. Great service. They were ready for my appointment right on time, very friendly, and our appraisals came back within a week and a half. Nice people; Good work.

Came here to get an engagement appraisal recently with my fiancé. great people with an even greater knowledge about diamonds and jewelry. I would highly recommend this place. the two people I met her were fantastic and very easy to talk to! Will be back soon.

The plan was to find a one-​of-​a-​kind engagement ring. I had no prior history or knowledge of jewelry, especially not engagement rings. Foolishly I visited a handful of those cookie cutter mall shops. Boring. Pricey. Nothing special. Blah.
A co-​worker told me about Gemological Resources Inc (GRI) and the wonderful experience he and his now wife had with them. Since it was a local shop I gave them a shot not knowing what to expect. Wow… What a great experience!
From the moment we (my girlfriend and I) walked into GRI, it felt right. We met with Terry initially to get a feel for GRI’s work, as well as to discuss ring options. Terry is an encyclopedia of knowledge; it was a true lesson on everything we needed to know about diamonds, rings, etc. Very much worth taking the time to meet with him. He not only shared much of his knowledge, but also listened and got a good feel for what my girlfriend liked. The initial meet was a success and I felt confident that GRI would be the right place to go once I was ready to make the decisive move solo.
When the time came I met up with GRI again, this time with Nirali who works closely with Terry. Because I wanted a unique, special, one-​of-​a-​kind engagement ring I decided on a custom design ring. The CAD images and designs were perfect! To top it off, Nirali found me a high quality and very well priced diamond; this after I spent weeks personally searching for the right diamond. I was sold!
A reasonable deposit and a couple of weeks later the ring was finally in. Wow oh wow! It was perfect! 100X better than anything I’ve seen before. GRI knocked it out of the park! Seriously! Fast forward a few months later… My wife loves her ring and goes goo goo over it everyday. We had our bands done by GRI as well and they too are perfect (the wife’s band was also custom designed to match the engagement ring).
All in all it was a GREAT outcome. We are both so very pleased and happy about our experience with GRI. Beyond our expectations. Never have I had such a relaxing and pleasant experience. I truly mean it. It always felt like I was meeting with friends and not just a standard business transaction.
So do yourself a favor… If you’re reading this it’s because you’re thinking about buying jewelry. Save yourself the hassle. GO DIRECTLY TO GRI. I highly recommend them.

We were extremely pleased with Terry and the other folks at gemological. Everyone was quite friendly, knowledgable; and despite out naïveté, we walked away with an amazing ring for an extremely affordable price.
When I initially walked in with my soon to be fiancé, my mother, and my soon to be mother in law — I thought I was going to be in real trouble. Just the opposite — we all had a lovely time of discussing different pieces and trying them on.
I’ll be back to purchase our bands — and to take these folks down the street to the Blue Comet. Can you believe they haven’t been?
Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with these delightful folks.

These guys are as good as it gets. I purchased my wife’s engagement ring from them and it could not have been a more pleasant experience. No pushy slimeball salesman like jewelers row. Terry took the time to walk me through everything to consider and at the end gave me a great product at a great price. I’ve referred him to 5 more people already (purchased ring in 2010) who still thank me for the recommendation. There’s no reason not to buy from them. Seriously.

I’ve purchased a few pieces of jewelry through Gemological Resources over the past year or so and have been pleased each and every time. I like to equate what they do to a mechanic… With a mechanic, you have to take them for their word. A good mechanic that you trust is hard to find. I feel like I’ve found that with these guys. It’s nice to have my own personal jeweler that I can trust. If they don’t have the best price, they’ll tell you. But that doesn’t happen too often. They’re much cheaper than retail. I will definitely be going back…
