Accurate Gem Lab, Inc. provides professional jewelry appraising. You may be present during the examination procedure. With each appraisal, your jewelry piece will be carefully cleaned and inspected. The Graduate Gemologist will examine your piece with special instruments to determine carat weight, clarity, color rating, cut quality, and value of the metals and workmanship. Each of these details are researched, and add up to a monetary value or retail replacement value. (Stones do not need to be removed from their mounting for examination). Your unique appraisal document will be carefully prepared for you with an extra copy for your insurance company.Owner Teresa Torguson is a GIA Graduate Gemologist and Alumni Member.
