SAZ Appraisal

About this Appraiser

Headed by Graduate Gemologist, Saleena Zeman GG (GIA), SAZ Appraisal delivers quality jewelry appraisals in the Seattle Metropolitan area. Her office is based in Kirkland WA where she appraises fine modern, period and antique jewelry, diamonds and watches while-you-wait on an appointment-only basis.

Saleena also has a portable gem lab, which allows the examination and assessment of your precious items to be carried out in your home or place of work, this service may incur an additional cost for traveling expenses. The home-visit appraisal service is available to Snohomish County and King County, principally the cities of Seattle, Renton, Kent and as far south as Tacoma. This graduate from the Gemological Institute of America also travels outside the Seattle-Tacoma metro area by special arrangement.

SAZ Appraisal has partnered with respected jewelers throughout the area to provide jewelry appraisal events at these retailers' stores. As a jewelry and diamond expert, Saleena also provides independent professional advice and valuations to trust and estate professionals, jewelry store owners, lawyers and insurance companies.

Clients wishing to obtain insurance coverage for their valuable assets need detailed descriptions of the items along with the true worth of the collection to enable a satisfactory settlement or a replacement item of jewelry of equal merit, in the event of a loss. Both of these elements are present in an appraisal for insurance replacement, which are accepted by all insurance companies and comply with the Uniform Standards of Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

Saleena evaluates: diamonds, colored gemstones, pearls and watches, including estate and antique jewelry. Her areas of expertise include evaluation for estate planning, divorce settlement, litigation, equitable distribution, charitable donation and post-purchase assessments.
