Report
The report is a certified statement about a precious stone. Depending on the requirements, it may include the following parameters:
- Mineral type
- mineral variety
- Cut type
- Dimensions of the precious stone
- Carat weight
- Further comments
The report is the ideal choice for a quick check on the authenticity of the precious stone.
Diamond Report
The diamond report is an important document for evaluating diamonds and provides comprehensive information about their quality. Grading is usually based on the so-called 4Cs, which describe the essential characteristics of a diamond:
- Carat (weight)
- Cut
- Color
- Clarity
We generally issue diamond reports according to the HRD guidelines, which are widely used in Europe. These guidelines ensure an objective and standardized assessment of diamond quality. Upon request, however, the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) guidelines, which are internationally recognized and also set high standards, can also be applied.
Gemstone appraisal
A gemstone appraisal is a detailed examination report and contains all information that could be obtained during the preliminary examination. These may include the following parameters:
- Gemstone type & gemstone variety
- Carat weight of the stone
- Color & Intensity
- Purity & inclusion diagnostics
- Treatments
- Origin
- Valuation (insurance value or market value)
Such reports have enjoyed great popularity in recent years as the market has become increasingly difficult to obtain syntheses.
Precious expertise
A jewelry appraisal is indeed the most complex and, at the same time, the most exciting type of appraisal. The following points provide a brief overview of the steps involved:
- Determination of stocking weight
- Precious metal testing
- Determination of the precious metal weight
- Determination of the authenticity of precious stones
- Determination of possible treatments of the precious stones
- Production periods
- Style determination
- Hallmarking
- Valuation (replacement value or market value)
The precious metal expertise thus provides a comprehensive basis for purchases, sales or insurance of jewelry by systematically analyzing and documenting all relevant factors.
