Jewelry Evaluation
Kathleen did an amazing job evaluating the value of some jewelry and some stones that I needed appraised for value. I felt comfortable leaving them with her and knew they would be returned safely. I would highly recommend her and her company for all your appraisal needs.

Highly Recommend
I highly recommend Cal Coast Appraisals. Kathleen appraised my wedding ring set and I was very pleased with my experience. She was thorough, knowledgeable and professional. I felt confident in her evaluation and in the security of my ring while in her care.
Company Response: Thank you for your review of my insurance appraisal service, it was a pleasure to value such a pretty engagement ring. I would be delighted to see you again when you are ready to have your diamond assesed by The Gemological Institute of America for a GIA Diamond Grading Report. The GIA’s reported opinion of your stone will enhance the value of your ring appraisal.
