Being someone who knows nothing about jewelry, I have to say that I had a wonderful experience with Z, when getting a few of my jewelry pieces appraised. Z walked me through all the steps and guided me in a manner that made me feel comfortable, while being educated at the same time. i would definitely recommend turning to him for appraisals. Its hard to come across such good services nowadays.

Mr Z is one of the best gemologists out there. I was in need for a diamond wedding band and was referred to Mr Z by friends of a coworker as I had a specific ring design and needed help. Mr Z and his team were confident they could get it done and work with my budget(came under budget ;)). The ring turned out amazing and the detail work is beyond what I expected. From meeting with them to ultimately getting the finished product, I couldn’t of asked for a better experience. Thank you!

I met Z(the owner) through friends at work, so I trusted him immediately. However, he quickly proved that he was not just trustworthy, but knowledgable and helpful — an expert in his field. My wedding rings were stolen, and(though impossible to replace), the experience with Z was so easy and enjoyable(and the replacement so GORGEOUS) that it made me less sad about my loss. He was so respectful of my budget restraints. He never up-sold, and in fact, he reminded ME of my budget when I was distracted by the glittery, larger diamonds. The diamond I ended up with is perfect — so beautifully cut, with so much«fire» that I get comments about it almost every day. It even looks larger than it is, from the way it catches the light. It’s perfect. The process of buying a diamond with Z is really educational. The passion and enthusiasm he has for his work is evident as he explains the cut & color differences. I learned so much from Z, and he was extremely patient with me as I made my choice. I couldn’t be happier with my ring.
