What To Know About GIA Appraisal

By Jose Barnes


An assessment can be defined as a valuation and description of property. In this regard, the value that is stated on the review is usually the sole opinion or view of the appraiser, primarily depending on their experience and overall research. Notably, these reviews are typically undertaken for many reasons, and these include things like replacement value, determining fair market value, and other suchlike reasons. GIA appraisal is thus very instrumental.

GIA takes great pride in being one of the most reputable research and education institutes globally. That being said, GIA does not in any way, provide jewelry and gem appraisals. As such, the institute is not essentially involved in the pricing of jewelry or even gemstones. By dint of its laboratory reports, the institute provides an objective and independent opinion of the quality of jewelry and gemstones. Oftentimes, appraisers usually refer to this report and information when trying to determine the actual monetary value of a particular jewelry or gem.

It is vital to note that GIA can potentially provide the gemological refresher and training that appraisers require. However, it should be noted that GIA by itself, does not usually appraise or even value gems. In this respect, if someone would like to find an appraisal, then it is important to have various guides and tips.

The next thing to consider is the cost of getting an appraisal. It is important to keep in mind that a professional appraiser will give the appropriate price for the service and time taken to do a job.

Also, it is cardinal to remember that GIA does not provide any review training classes or courses altogether. As such, many appraisers have completed Graduate Gemologist program, whereby they are usually acquainted with skills such as identifying and also grading colored stones and diamonds. Once they graduate, they can then proceed to seek formal training in appraisal essentially through certain associations as other schools. Owing the fact that a review is a very formal and legal document, it is essential to inquire about the experience levels and educational standards of the candidate you are considering to hire.

There are a multitude of questions that you need to have answered satisfactorily, before making the final decision on the appraiser to hire. Firstly, you need to establish whether they are independent, or are working for the seller. Besides, it is important to establish where they received their training from, as well as their professional designations.

These questions go a very long in ensuring that you hire a very competent appraiser. Another important one is whether they are specifically experienced in the particular review that they will be writing for you. You also need to know more about how they keep up to date in both gemology and the appraisal field.

Other important questions include what information the appraiser will include in their reports, as well as how they keep updated in the field of appraisal and gemology. It is also advisable to inquire whether the appraiser is insured to cover for the diamonds and jewelry in their possession. The appraisal cost and also duration of the process are other viable questions.
