Hannon Gemologist and Master Jewelers

Our fees are based on an hourly rate.

This fee is currently $150.00 per hour of work. The final fee

will reflect the total amount of time spent on the appraisal, including take-in,

cleaning and inspection of the jewelry, research and documentation,

photography, preparation of the final documents, contacting the customer

and delivering the items.

If you have multiple pieces of jewelry, we do advise bringing them all in at

the same time. Appraising multiple items on the same report will

save both time and money.

We do offer express appraisals for a special fee.

If you you like to make an appointment or inquire more about our

Note on Update Appraisal reports:

Because of changes in market conditions, we recommend having your appraisals

updated every other year. This will insure you have enough insurance protection

when it is needed, and to avoid paying unnecessary excessive

premiums.

The fee to update our own appraisal report is 1/2 the current rate at the time of

the requested service.
