Jared Anderson is a credentialed gemologist and experienced appraiser who was also a delightful man to work with when he appraised both gold and gem jewelry that were my mom's and for which we needed appraisal done to establish value for the attorneys settling her estate after her passing this summer. We were referred to Jared by both a respected goldsmith and happy client. He responded quickly when we reached out to set the appointment, one can schedule with him at his office on the 11th floor of the Banner Bank building in downtown Boise and he also schedules home visits I think if you're don't want to go to the office, and the office was easy to access. One can stay, we did, as Jared does the evaluation for appraisal or one can leave the items to pick up in however much time is needed to do the appraisal. (Ours took 2 hours "minus" as I recall and time will vary depending on the number or complexity of items.) Jared explained the appraisal process and his findings as he went along and when the work was completed had the documented appraisal of the items, including photos, in my husband's email in box within a couple of hours of the time we left his office. This entire process was made so easy for us. If you are looking for a top notch jewelry appraisal professional, we recommend Jared. read more
