Do you know what your favorite diamond earrings are really worth?
What about the necklaces and bracelets in your collection?
The simple truth is, much like any other asset, the value of jewelry can vary greatly over time, so unless you've had an accurate appraisal within the past few years it would be pretty hard to say what your pieces are actually worth with any certainty.
That's where the professionals at Northeast Gemological come in.
Our expert gemologists can provide a detailed assessment of your jewelry's measurements, workmanship, weight, carat, color, and clarity.

All polished diamonds are valuable, but the exact value of any given diamond depends on The 4 C's: Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat Weight.
Each one of these unique aspects has a profound impact on your diamond, and in turn affect its worth.
A diamond's cut greatly influences its sparkle.
Color, or lack thereof, plays a big role in its grading - simply put, the less color, the higher the gem's grade.
Clarity refers to the amount and size of imperfections within a gem; as you might guess, fewer imperfections make for higher grades.

One of the most uncomfortable situations an estate lawyer can find themselves in is a case that involves family members battling each other over items left behind as part of a deceased loved one's estate.
Because the family is still trying to process the passing of their loved one, tensions already run high and, understandably, some may not be thinking clearly.
Such situations can become all the more combustible when someone believes that they were "left out" or "short-changed" by the will; arguments escalate from there, often leaving the surviving family in shambles.

Identifying a gem is a much more complicated process than simply looking at a gemstone with the naked eye.
Even an accredited expert with years of experience in the field can't ID every gem with perfect precision at a mere glance.
We might be able to give you a list of likely possibilities when you first show us a gem, but figuring out exactly what type it is?
Determining whether it's natural, synthetic, or even a very convincing fake?
That requires no small bit of testing and a good look under the microscope.
