Independent Jewelry Appraisals

UGL USA offers independent appraisal services to the public and to the trade. When we perform an appraisal for the consumer, it is done in front of you while you watch. Every evaluation is conducted by GIA graduate gemologists and is accepted by all major insurance companies.

  • Insurance, estate, tax and liquidation appraisals
  • Flat fees — never a percentage of value
  • Your jewelry never leaves your sight

Pre-Purchase & Post-Purchase Evaluations

Whether you are looking to confirm that what you are about to buy is what the seller represents it to be — or that what you already purchased is what you were told it was — bring it to the experts at UGL. Our specialists verify accuracy and authenticity before the stakes get expensive.

  • Verify a stone against its certificate
  • Catch misrepresentation before you commit
  • Peace of mind for online and estate purchases
