Gemological Consulting Services LLC

I couldn’t recommend more highly. I had bought a diamond online so I wanted to get it appraised (for piece of mind, as well as insurance purposes), I called several diamond retailers in the Seattle area who didn’t end up offering to do appraisals, until Seattle Diamonds recommended Gemological Consulting Services, the owner Larry was able to see me by appointment the next day. He’s been in the business for 50 years. He did the appraisal right in front of me, talking his way through it and I got to see the diamond under a microscope on a big monitor as he assessed it. Appraisals are offered at a fixed rate listed on the website, which is great because some Gemologists charge by the hour and do it behind closed doors. He took his time, no rushing, and answered any questions I had.
