While you Wait Service
Afraid to have your item out of your sight?  No problem.  You can sit with us and have every step explained as we perform the necessary work required.   We embrace your concern. No quibbles, no qualms.  We have the confidence in what we do to perform all work with you present.
 
Consultations
Curious as to what you may own?  You may not have a clue to value on items handed down from generation to generation.  We promise to give you honest information so you can go forward with your decision making agenda.
 
Diamond Grading
Being a very good grader takes years of experience.  I prefer to grade without seeing your documentation so you are getting a totally unbiased educated and experienced opinion. 
 
New Purchase Verifications
Wondering if you got what you paid for?  Were you told to bring it to an independent appraiser?  It is very difficult to find trained appraisers but we are here for you.  I am happy to show you your diamond under a binocular darkfield scope so you can understand the grading.   We have a second scope set up in the office just for this purpose.  New England Gem Lab’s scope is your scope! You should know what your stone looks like and how to identify it.  Your stone is unique!
 
Insurance and Estate Appraisals
Exacting detailed reports with digital pictures and plotting diagrams on larger stones. 
Acceptable to all insurance companies.
 
Liquidation
We will give you all the information about your piece and marketability to maximize your dollar return.  We can act as a broker for you if you so chose. 
 
Portable Laboratory
I can travel to bank vaults, offices or on site/in home for assignments. 
 
Research
New England Gem Lab has an extensive library that is being added to on an ongoing basis.  We also have a network or informational highway and are willing to get as much information as possible on unusual pieces.
 
Stone Identification
Basic stone identification is performed in our well equipped Gem Lab.  However, some stones may need to be sent into the American Gem Trade Association or Gemological Institute of America for extensive testing.  There are many treatments and enhancements being performed and if it is an important stone being purchased without any report, it may be a good idea to have this information.
 
Equitable Distribution
Time to start dividing up some of the family items?  We can help you do it fairly and equitably.
 
Power Point Presentation
