After marrying in 2002, I moved to Northern Virginia and went to work for an Independent jewelry store as the shop manager, appraiser, and estate buyer. In 2008, I moved to Southern Maryland where I was able to realize my dream of owning my own appraisal business. Mesh Appraisal Services began to provide independent, quality jewelry appraisals to individuals who prefer to watch and wait while their jewelry is being appraised.
A thorough and detailed description of your jewelry item will be documented. Diamonds and colored gemstones will be measured for weight, graded for color, clarity, and cut and any important characteristics will be noted. A detailed description of the mounting, manufacturing method and metal content will be noted as well as any other important information.
I do request that if you currently have a diamond grading report from a laboratory (GIA, AGS, EGL, IGI, GSL, etc) that you bring it with you so that we may verify the information on the report. I will, however, perform our own analysis first and then present our findings to you.

Services
Professional appraisers charge for their services based upon an hourly rate or a per-item fee, never by a percentage of the appraised value.
Mesh Appraisal Services' current fee for insurance and estate jewelry appraisals starts at a nominal fee of $80 per item and is based on the complexity of the item.
I do offer a per hour rate for jewelry appraisals with 20 or more items.
Appraising several items at one time can result in considerable saving over a one-by-one approach.
Of course, elaborate items containing many stones will take longer than average and plain gold items will take less.
