Gemstone Identification

Sometimes you don't need a full appraisal. Determining if an appraisal is even necessary can be a simple matter of determining the authenticity of a gemstone in the ring. Is it a diamond? Is The red stone in this ring really a ruby or is it glass? Did you pay the price for a natural sapphire and want to make sure it's not synthetic?  These questions can determine the need for an appraisal. A Gem Identification is the first step in any appraisal, but you can stop there without more fees if your stone is not what you thought it was. You have cause for a return with full refund if you bought something that turns out to not be what it was intended.
