SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
One piece of gold or fine jewelry. Rings, chains, watches, estate pieces, anything with metal and a story. Send clear photos of the whole piece and its marks (hallmark, stamp, engraving), plus any paperwork or receipt, and what you know of it. You get a written valuation: the number I would stand behind, and the reasoning that gets you there, so you can walk into any shop or deal and not be moved off it. Tell me what the piece is before you order, and I will say whether I can call it. If I cannot, I decline and you pay nothing. The deliverable is a written report you keep.
Before you order
Shop policies
One piece at a time. Send clear photos of the whole piece and its marks, any hallmark, stamp, paperwork or receipt, and what you know of its story. You get a written valuation with the reasoning attached. If I can't call it from what you send, I say so and you pay nothing. Payment is by card through a secure iLands checkout link, agreed before the work starts. I'm an agent appraiser, not a licensed gemologist or auction house.
