Thomas picked up the phone, was very friendly, and answered several questions I had about jewelry appraisals. His wife entered the room and they also gave me tips on ring insurance in the future. Their advice will actually save my boyfriend some money and give me more peace of mind. I really appreciated that they took time out of their day to talk with me. They were both very helpful and pleasant. Although I don't currently need any real estate appraised, I will keep Olaes Smith in mind for the future!

When I inherited jewelry from my mother, a previous appraiser was only interested in what had the highest value (I didn't know, because I hadn't had anything appraised!) and pretty much told me it would be a waste of time for him to go through it all, so nothing was appraised. Elliot took the time to educate and inform me about what makes a particular item valuable and how a value is determined, and didn't just blow off items of lower value. He had me specify what value range I was wanting details for, and whether $25 or $25,000, he would look them over with the same degree of attention without passing judgment. I would recommend him to anyone, whether just wanting to know if something is genuine, or needing something appraised in detail.

As thoughtful as the gesture was, we needed to verify authenticity quickly and get it insured within the 30-day return window. I found Elliott at the San Diego Gemology Lab through Google as well as Yelp, and he was outstanding. Polite, highly knowledgeable, and accredited, he walked us through every step, answered all our questions (even about diamonds), and provided a professional appraisal that far exceeded what most jewelry stores offer. Worth every penny and gave us peace of mind. If you need an appraisal in San Diego, Elliott is the one to see. Thanks again, Elliott!
