  I had an appointment with Vincent Lash to have my ring appraised. I found him very professional with a wealth of knowledge in jewelry. His price was so reasonable.

  I met Mr. Lash at the insurance company that was sponsoring appraisals. Vincent introduced himself, and gave his background and experience. He was very professional and very personable. He was able to determine the material of my silverware because he owned a special machine that measures the metal content- I believe he is the only appraiser in the Northeast who has one. While there, I asked if he had the time to appraise two pieces of jewelry, and he did. I also asked if he did appraisals on china, but he said that was not his area of expertise. I appreciated his honesty. The appraisal is the most detailed appraisal I have ever received. He included extremely detailed descriptions and pictures of the items. I would absolutely recommend Vincent Lash, and I gave his name to my insurance company in case anyone calls them for jewelry/ silver appraisalshow more

  I feel confident that I can take his work to an insurance company (he consults with several), a broker (he consults for many jewelers) or a private buyer (he is a studied and very experienced gemologist). He truly exceeded all expectation.

  In a word- exceptional. Vince was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and personable. He spent an hour and 45 minutes of his time appraising the ring and answering all of my questions while only charging me the agreed upon price for an hour appointment. My previous experience with another appraiser was found lacking in quality, cost, and my experience. Vince uses the latest and greatest equipment for appraising jewelry and he patiently explained everything to me. He had investigated the brief information I had given him in preparation for our appointment. He educated me and made me feel at ease. I wish he was with me for whenever I buy jewelry again. I am sincerely impressed with his honesty and skill. I will only go him for future appraisalsshow more

  This is an independent family run business. Bill and his staff are professional, but also respectful, kind and considerate at a difficult time for the family. Treasure Me Estate Sales has a large customer following. They do their research and price things accordingly. I would highly recommend them.

  The plan was to find a one-of-a-kind engagement ring. I had no prior history or knowledge of jewelry, especially not engagement rings. Foolishly I visited a handful of those cookie cutter mall shops. Boring. Pricey. Nothing special. Blah. A co-worker told me about Gemological Resources Inc (GRI) and the wonderful experience he and his now wife had with them. Since it was a local shop I gave them a shot not knowing what to expect. Wow.... What a great experience! From the moment we (my girlfriend and I) walked into GRI, it felt right. We met with Terry initially to get a feel for GRI's work, as well as to discuss ring options.Terry is an encyclopedia of knowledge; it was a true lesson on everything we needed to know about diamonds, rings, etc. Very much worth taking the time to meet with him. He not only shared much of his knowledge, but also listened and got a good feel for what my girlfriend liked. The initial meet was a success and I felt confident that GRI would be the right place to go once I was ready to make the decisive move solo. When the time came I met up with GRI again, this time with Nirali who works closely with Terry. Because I wanted a unique, special, one-of-a-kind engagement ring I decided on a custom design ring. The CAD images and designs were perfect! To top it off, Nirali found me a high quality and very well priced diamond; this after I spent weeks personally searching for the right diamond. I was sold!! A reasonable deposit and a couple of weeks later the ring was finally in. Wow oh wow!! It was perfect! 100X better than anything I've seen before. GRI knocked it out of the park! Seriously! Fast forward a few months later.... My wife loves her ring and goes goo goo over it everyday. We had our bands done by GRI as well and they too are perfect (the wife's band was also custom designed to match the engagement ring). All in all it was a GREAT outcome. We are both so very pleased and happy about our experience with GRI. Beyond our expectations. Never have I had such a relaxing and pleasant experience. I truly mean it. It always felt like I was meeting with friends and not just a standard business transaction. So do yourself a favor... If you're reading this it's because you're thinking about buying jewelry. Save yourself the hassle. GO DIRECTLY TO GRI. I highly recommend themshow more

  I have used their service many times before and think they are superior. I don't use any service more than once that I'm not happy with their work.

  The gemologist they have doing the appraisals is top-notch; he really knows his business. Everyone there was very friendly and professional. It is worth a little extra drive to get such good service!

  The experience at Shaker Coin and Jewelry Company was effortless and satisfying from the first phone contact. The owner explained to me in detail the criteria for evaluating the gold and silver coins that I brought to him for appraisal. He gave me generous estimates on the value of the coins, which I had previously evaluated. He purchased the coins from me there on the spot. The whole visit was highlighted by a brief talk on historical fluctuations in the market value of gold. I would highly recommend this dealer if you want to sell gold or silver coinsshow more
