I had Gerry provide an appraisal which I was very happy with. As well he repaired my engagement ring. I was quoted $400 by a larger establishment for the repair alone (which used to be my regular jeweler and I have now broken up with), which was outrageous! Gerry charged me $90.00 including taxes! He is friendly and professional and very… knowledgeable being a GIA Gemologist for over 27 years. Do not hesitate to go there for anything! I'm sure he can also help you with your diamond purchase with his connections. He will save you tons of money! He will be my jeweler for life! Tammy

Gerry of Gerry’s Jewellery Appraisals is amazing! I was greeted with a friendly smile and a funny ‘Dad’ joke. He cleaned and appraised my ring, explained the appraisal certificate and answered all my questions about the clarity of the diamonds. Afterwards we struck up and wonderful conversation and he even played the didgeridoo! All in all it was a great experience and I highly recommend him. I will definitely be getting all future appraisals done here!

Report
Gerry went above and beyond for our appraisal. Originally for insurance purposes, he noticed a flaw that was a manufacturer's defect. We had our ring sent back and repaired at no charge. Very grateful for his honesty and professionalism. Would highly recommend!
