Hi Everyone,
We have been getting some questions about our appraisal services at the event. We have partnerd with Geer Gemological Services to now be able to offer top quality gemological services to the north shore!!!
We have 2 options available.
First is at our opening event we have 14 half hour appointments available. The appraiser will then do the appraisal right infront of you. The first appraisal is $250 and each following appraisal is $150. He is also also offering gem identification at $50 per item.
The second option is you can drop off your item(s) at the gallery, and we will get it appraised for you. We would then arrange a time for pick up when the appraisal is finished.
If you need appraisals for insurance, or just want to get more expert information on your pieces call 218-370-0756 or message us here to book an appraisal.
We look forward to seeing everyone at our Grand Opening on June 7th!!!
