Every appraisal is completed by a qualified gemmologist and includes detailed grading, documentation, and a clear estimated value for insurance, resale, or estate purposes.
Our jewellery appraisal services are designed to give you a clear, professional understanding of what your items are worth. Whether you need documentation for insurance coverage, a resale estimate, or a personal record, we provide detailed reports that are accepted by insurers across Canada.
Each piece is carefully examined, cleaned, photographed, and graded on-site to ensure accuracy and security.
We provide detailed valuation services across a wide range of jewellery and valuables, including:
Each appraisal is tailored to the item and your reason for valuation, whether it’s insurance, resale, or estate planning.
We review your item and learn the purpose of the appraisal, whether it’s for insurance, resale, or estate planning. This helps us tailor the report to what you actually need.
Each piece is carefully cleaned so we can properly assess its condition, materials, and gemstone quality. This step ensures nothing is missed during grading.
Using gemmological tools, we identify metals, evaluate gemstones, and assess quality. Diamonds and gemstones are graded based on industry standards.
We record all details including materials, weights, measurements, gemstone characteristics, and overall condition. Every specification is clearly documented.
You receive a report with descriptions, photos, and an estimated value based on the current market. Reports are accepted by insurance providers and easy to understand.

Excellent experience with Vancouver Gemological institute Appraisal Lab. He responded promptly and thoroughly to my initial email inquiry and we scheduled an appointment soon thereafter. The appraisal experience was transparent, informative and interesting. Aviel took a lot of time with me explaining his methods. I received a printed appraisal document before I walked out of the office. Highly recommend this appraiser.
