Jewelry & Gem Appraisal

Gems and Jewelry Appraisals on this web site are just a part of the Gemological services that we provide. If you have a family heirloom or a piece of jewelry that you wish to have valued for insurance or other purposes, please get in touch with us and we will do our best to help you. Arrangements can be made to have the pieces shipped to us. In order to do a proper valuation we must have the pieces in our possession.???

Original Gem Cut Design
 
Artistic Jewelry Design is offering this special service to everyone!
Since many of my original designs are created using Gem Cad, I can generate virtually any cut needed for a stone setting or piece of jewelry.
If I need a stone that is 7 sided and of a particular depth and width, no problem.
   
Original Star Gem Design

All the designing and configuration is done on the computer and a diagram and list of cutting instructions is created at the end.
Please provide a drawing with the symmetry (how many sides), the dimensions of the stone (depth, diameter etc.) and the material. I will than provide an estimate and after it is approved by you, I can go to work.???
