    Engagement ring
    Alyssa M.

    I visited Jane to have my engagement ring appraised for insurance purposes. I had called around to jewelers in the area before finding Jane, and I couldn't find anyone else that I felt I could trust and has the level of expertise in gemology that she does. I was so impressed with her knowledge, professionalism, and customer service. It was an absolute pleasure working with her and I'd highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a trusted appraiser!

    I first went to Jane to get my engagement ring appraised for insurance purposes. My husband received a GIA certificate and an appraisal from the company from which he purchased the ring, but we wanted an objective appraisal for the ring because the clarity of the center stone is flawless (FL). Since natural emerald cut diamonds with flawless clarity are so rare, we wanted to be sure that he got what he paid for. Jane was professional, transparent, and answered all of my questions about her process. The appraisal that I received the morning after my appointment was extremely comprehensive, and I feel affirmed by having it and knowing that my ring is as unique and valuable as I felt it was when my husband proposed to me with it. My experience with Jane was so positive that, months later, I had her appraise my wedding band. My husband had my wedding band custom made by a jeweler in Los Angeles, who he had not previously heard of or worked with. Again, Jane's service affirmed that my husband got what he paid for. The appraisal of my wedding band gives me the confidence of knowing that if, god forbid, I ever have to file an insurance claim on my wedding band, its appraisal is so detailed and thorough, the replacement wedding band that I would receive would need to meet a very high standard. If anyone needs a referral for jewelry appraisal in the Bay Area, I would recommend Jane, first and foremost. I have attached photos of my rings that were taken by Jane as part of the appraisal process.

    I DO, now I DON'T!! I was cleaning out one of my safety deposit boxes, and came across an old wedding ring from my previous marriage. I didn't want the ring, nor did I know how to rid myself of it. I turned to Yelp and found JE Carleton Appraisals. Jane was quick to return my call and set up an appointment. During our meeting she gave me the full run down on the ring, its' quality assessment, approximate resale value, and the various channels to sell it. She also provided me with a thorough and complete 'quality assessment' report should I decide to sell private party. If it is a piece she thinks she can easily sell, she will offer to brokerage your piece for a reasonable 10% fee. Jane is a true professional who is honest, kind, and very competent. She has been in this business for 35+ years and really knows her stuff! I was very happy to have found Jane and you will be too!

    Gorgeous pieces appraised by the AMAZING Miss Carleton!! Thanks a trillion! You are GORGEOUS inside and out!!

    Miss Carleton is the very BEST! She is professional, compassionate, assertive and has what it takes to provide an amazing appraisal. We took our wedding bands and diamond here to get a gorgeous 11 page appraisal that is outstanding! She takes the time and care that no other person would in this business! I trusted her and she delivered! Thank you so much Miss Carleton for the love and care you provided to myself and my family through this appraisal!

    I had the pleasure of working with Jacob at Greater Bay Appraisals as an out-of-town client, and he…read moretruly exceeded my expectations. I needed a FMV date of death appraisal. When you're not local, you really need someone you can trust, someone skilled, responsive, and grounded in the realities of the market. Its can be a very hard time when dealing with the loss of a loved one and their property. Jacob handled this with sensitivity, respect and care. He delivered the appraisal faster than I expected, and the work itself was thorough and precise and was able to bring great insight and steadiness to complete this. It really stood out most was how thoughtful he is. He's clearly highly experienced and understands not just the mechanics of appraising, but the nuances of the local market and how to communicate what matters to a client. He took the time to explain what I needed, why it mattered, and what to expect without overcomplicating anything. His pricing is fair, his process is efficient, and he operates with a level of professionalism that's refreshing. If more people in business approached their work the way Jacob does, things would run a lot more smoothly. I'm appreciative and grateful to have found him by the help of reading the reviews of others. He's truly a great professional to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services. Thank you so much Jacob.

    I highly recommend Jacob at Greater Bay Appraisal. He's friendly, professional and very easy to…read morework with. He was flexible in finding a time for us to meet and quick to get the final appraisal sent. Definitely would use their services again!
