The Role of a Accomplished Gemologist

Our El Paso, Texas facility prides itself on having a team of accomplished gemologists who are not just experts in diamond appraisal but are also passionate about their craft. These professionals have undergone rigorous training and certification, enabling them to meticulously evaluate every aspect of a diamond's quality.

In-Depth Analysis of the Four Cs

  • Carat Weight: We measure the weight of your diamond with precise scales, understanding that even a fraction of a carat can significantly impact its value.
  • Cut: The cut of a diamond affects its brilliance and is evaluated based on angles and finish. Our gemologists meticulously assess how well your diamond has been cut and how it impacts its overall appearance.
  • Color: We grade the diamond’s color, noting how close it is to being colorless, as the lack of color often increases a diamond's value.
  • Clarity: Our experts examine the diamond under magnification to identify any inclusions or blemishes, which can impact its clarity and, consequently, its value.

Commonly Asked Questions

  • How often should I get my diamond appraised?

    It's recommended to have your diamond jewelry appraised every two to three years, especially if it's for insurance purposes. This ensures that your jewelry appraisal reflects current market values and conditions.

  • What’s the difference between a diamond appraisal and a lab report?

    A diamond appraisal provides an estimated market value for insurance or resale purposes, considering the diamond's quality and current market trends. A lab report, on the other hand, is a detailed analysis of a diamond's characteristics such as carat weight, cut, color, and clarity, usually provided by gemological laboratories.

  • Can I sell my diamond based on the appraisal value?

    The appraised value is an estimate for insurance purposes and might not reflect the resale price in the market. The actual selling price can vary based on current market conditions and demand.
