Appraisals
Upon your purchase of fine jewelry from THE PRECIOUS GEM, we offer insurance appraisals and complementary updates every five years. Remember, an appraisal represents the replacement cost of that jewelry in the event of a loss. Reggie recommends that you consult your insurance agent to determine if your jewelry is covered in the event it is lost, stolen, or damaged.
Our professional staff appraisers are trained in diamonds and colored stones by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Our appraisal reports describe your jewelry in detail, including style, metal, and gemstones, including size, width, color, and clarity.
We also offer verbal assessments of antique and estate jewelry for a flat hourly fee, and by appointment. Contact us at info@thepreciousgems.com to book your appraisal appointment.
Jewelry Restyling/Remount
If your jewelry calls for style or stone updates, Reggie loves working with clients to refresh their treasured keepsakes. He can transform an outdated piece into a contemporary look or restyle an existing piece with a new setting and stones. Contact us to schedule an appointment to explore how your jewels can get an all-new life. Call (757) 220-1115 or email info@thepreciousgems.com. Of course, your initial consultation is complimentary!
Jewelry Repairs
If your favorite piece of fine jewelry needs a loving repair, THE PRECIOUS GEM is the place to come. Most of our repairs are done on-site, but we will let you know if there is a reason why a piece needs to be sent out. Stop by, and one of our knowledgeable staff will examine your piece, determine what needs to be done, and provide you with a cost estimate.
Our expert jewelers can handle most repairs, including, but not limited to: diamond or gemstone replacement, prong repair, soldering solid gold chains, replacing clasps, and ring sizing. We also offer expert pearl restringing; however, this is done off-site. The time required for repairs or sizing varies according to the complexity of the repair and where your request falls in our list of repair orders.
While your jewelry is being repaired, you can rest assured that we will treat your valued pieces as if they were ours.
Guarantee/Warranty
THE PRECIOUS GEM stands behind every piece of fine jewelry we sell. Our guarantee is equal to none. When you purchase from us, we will credit the total value of what you paid toward a piece of higher value should you wish to trade it in.
