Consultation for Resale
by Linda Gordon
Honest open appraiser
Single Item/Insurance Appraisal
by Ben Gordon
Ben and his wife are lovely people. He is very knowledgeable and best of all your jewelry gets appraised in front of you. I'd highly recommend them if... you do not care about price. I have a 3 stone ring with 3 diamond certifications. He literally copied what the certifications said into his reporting software, took a few pics to add to the report, printed it off, and charged me $600. Now, I could understand the high cost if he had to determine the 4c's of each diamond, but that was not the case. If you have no information on your diamond I'd recommend them. If you have certifications already, shop around for someone else to copy and paste information for appraisal. Edit: Upgrading to 5 stars. The company reached out to me and apologized for the over charging. There was a lot going on that day and it was overlooked. They have agreed to partially refund the payment. Show more

It is not often we get to see a true master practice his craft. Mr. Gordon has been doing this for 60 years! He didn't just give me an appraisal; he... gave me an experience and an education. It was a privileged to have Mr. Gordon appraise my ring. I couldn't recommend him more highly. Simply a wonderful man. Show more

Jewelry Repair
by Ben Gordon
There are not enough positive adjectives to describe the wonderful experiences I had with Mr. and Mrs. Gordon over several visits the past months. Mr.... Gordon's welcoming, comfortable, experienced, reassuring persona made my jewelry appraisal one that I can heartily recommend to anyone. We met 41 years ago, with 10 visits since including those most recently this year. He is the very best! I felt as though I was his only client. There is no other Jewelry Judge to his equal in the country! Show more

Mr. Gordon was fantastic. I got my engagement ring appraised and I was able to learn more about my ring and see the entire process. Mr. Gordon walked ...me through everything and explained exactly what he was doing. He even showed me how I can always identify my ring and allowed me to look at the microscope. On top of this Mr. Gordon and Linda were so sweet and such a joy to work with. I highly recommend this service. Show more

Estate Items Distribution
by Ben Gordon
My mother-in-law passed away recently and she had a bunch of jewelry that we didn't know if it was real or costume. I brought everything in and was g...reeted by Linda who is very sweet and welcoming. Linda and I prepared everything in trays for Ben to look at. Ben went through each piece, told me what was costume jewelry, what was real and he gave me a value on each of the real items. The service is exactly what I needed and Ben is very knowledgeable in what he does. I highly recommend him!!! Show more

Single Item/Insurance Appraisal
by Ben Gordon
Ben and his wife are welcoming, responsive, thorough, and in the midst of this ongoing pandemic, safe and flexible. I was unable to attend my own appr...aisal, and Ben was flexible with arranging a time for my parents to take my item in. They felt safe, welcomed and learned much regarding diamond cut and clarity. Ben followed up with me personally as well to review the results. Sadly, service like this simply doesn’t exist these days. Show more
