Accredited Gem Appraisers

rude, arrogant staffing.

I Hope this doesn’t get filtered, but I had Chris appraise my diamond and Tacori setting for insurance purposes. He was thorough and he actually evaluated the diamond independently before comparing it to my AGS papers. He also knows that he’s a stranger touching your valuables and he makes sure your extremely comfortable for the entire procedure. He makes sure the diamond stays within your site and he goes through everything he’s doing. Very knowledgeable and being a newbie on jewelry, he has directed me to the right people for help. Glad to have stumbled upon AGA!

This place is located on jewelers row, the rest of which I have not explored. It is NOT a jeweler. just a straight-​up appraiser only. When you enter it’s sort of like going into a very very very secure dentist’s office. Each appraiser seems to have his/​her own little station along a hallway after you get buzzed through by the receptionist or whatever.
Dave Atlas appraised a loose sapphire for us here at AGA. He was awesome. Very thorough (spent about 45 minutes with us and our little stone). Explained everything he was doing. Gave us a full report (two copies, one for us, one for future insurance purpose).
It’s possible that I just have warm fuzzy feelings about the sapphire, but I really do think Dave did an awesome job. If you need an appraisal, I highly recommend.
