    Process

     

    Our appraisal service includes a 15 minutes assessment of your piece while you meet with ourgemologist in one of our private meeting rooms. We will also answer your questions on the piece’sorigin, history and condition of the piece during the assessment while all conversation content is kept strictly confidential. On a one-on-one consultation, our gemologist will provide a detailed explanation of each step of the procedure and the equipment’s used during the examination. We will not retain any piece of your jewelry in the meantime, and you will also be able to supervise your piece during the entirety of the assessment.

    Within the next few days, you will receive both hard and soft copies of the piece’s appraisal andvaluation report. The assessment will take place in our office located in Central, while the valuationpart will usually take 2 to 3 business days after the assessment.


    What differences are there in valuations performed at auction houses and at Bee’s?

     

    Appraisals performed by Bee’s Diamonds are independently performed. It is best recommended foranyone who wants to obtain an independent opinion on how much the piece is worth without beinginfluenced to make a selling decision. Whether you are looking to auction an antique brooch or aVan Cleef & Arpels ruby ring, an independent valuation performed before consigning your piece toan auction house will give you a fair value for reference and ensure that you maximize yourinvestment returns.
