Our world faces unprecedented problems. Why do we still care about jewelry? Long ago, when someone decided to make the first shell necklace around 100,000 years ago, amulets worn as jewelry were thought to be "charms, " that is, magical objects that invoked invisible forces to protect their wearers from a terrifying, mysterious world. Through the centuries, jewelry came to mark the stopping places along the way of life's journey, as signs of power and status and love.All the while, gold, which was the first money, and gemstones - with their beauty, durability and rarity - grew into a form of highly concentrated (thus portable) and readily cashable wealth.

I develop jewelry appraisals for many specific uses, such as insurance coverage, selling decisions, distribution of estate items among heirs, estate tax liability, divorce settlement and other legal purposes. Scott was incredibly helpful at identifying and providing me information regarding an antique locket.
Let's talk about how to sell your jewelry - and how much money you can get for it. I base my Broker's Price Opinion on my thirty years of experience selling more than $2 million worth of jewelry of all kinds for more than one thousand clients, including private owners, estates, heirs, attorneys, banks, and charitable foundations.

I utilized Scott for appraising jewelry for an estate. He was knowledgeable and provided incredible detail and expert opinion on the pieces he was appraising. It was an enjoyable experience and he provided some much needed information to move forward. I plan on utilizing his services again in the future and highly recommend him!

Scott was very helpful in giving me a good verbal appraisal for the jewelry in my parents estate. In just a few hours, he was able to go through several dozen pieces and give me a value estimate that we could use in dividing up the estate. Scott was easy to work with and gave me just the right level of information I need. I would certainly recommend him highly for this type of quick jewelry appraisal work.

I came to Scott to have an appraisal done(for insurance purposes) with an extremely diverse grouping of jewelry. He was able to tell me what I should and should not have appraised and also give me interesting background on certain stones and pieces. He is extremely professional and fun to work with. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a fair and knowledgable experience.

My mother and I met with Scott just recently to have my grandmother's jewelry looked at. Scott was very helpful and knowledgeable in directing us on how to handle the jewelry. He was very respectful and we enjoyed our time with him immensely. Would highly recommend him and will continue doing business with him.

I had an excellent experience working with Scott! I brought in some jewelry left to me by my grandmother, and he helped me assess the value of the pieces. He also brokered the sale of some of the pieces, and they sold above the estimated value. Scott is very skilled, and he patiently and kindly answered my questions. Professional. Trustworthy. Knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

I first met Scott when my fiance and I were looking for an engagement ring. I ended up picking one of his beautiful vintage rings from the 1930's that he had on display. It is so unique and timeless, everything that I wanted. I was recently surprised with a floating diamond necklace from my fiance as a graduation present and Scott did it again! It's so beautiful and he did an amazing job of creating my dream necklace. He is so professional, knowledgable, friendly, and meticulous with his work.

I had a wonderful experience with Scott Gordon's service. He evaluated a piece of inherited jewelry that I wished to sell and took a lot of time to explain all of the characteristics of the stone. His estimate and evaluation were spot on with what we were able to get. Very skilled gemologist. He was truly a pleasure to work with and I will certainly use his services again.

I am so thankful I met with Scott to review my jewelry. Although I did not have much value in the items I brought; Scott worked with me to help me understand where his information came from when he appraised the jewelry. Not only do I feel like I received valuable information about my pieces, but I learned a great deal from him about honesty and integrity in a business. I will certainly recommend him to others and visit him again if ever needed.
