Silver Bullion - How to choose a jewelry appraiser Buying a piece of jewelry to commemorate a special occasion is a simple process, but when it comes to acquiring or buying silver jewelry for investment purposes, especially if you’re looking into serious levels of investment, then it involves a bit more than paying a visit to your local jeweler. It is vital to have a professional appraiser look at the pieces you intend to buy and give you a professional assessment of its value for both investment and insurance purposes.

High levels of education and relevant experience as well as thorough product knowledge are some of the qualifications that make for a professional jewelry appraiser. There are different levels of jewelers in the industry and those levels are as follow: Wannabe - This is a self-proclaimed appraiser who has no gemological training or education. Bench Jeweler - A bench jeweler is an artisan or craftsman with manufacturing expertise and ability gained from educational institutions and apprenticeship. Graduate Jeweler - A GJ has completed courses and examinations from the Gemological Institution and has the ability and expertise to manufacture and repair jewelry. Stone Cutter (Lapidary Artist) - A lapidary artist is very talented at carving and sculpting gemstones. Graduate Gemologist - The GG has taken courses and completed the prescribed courses, both practical and theoretical from the GIA. Watchmaker (Horologist) - A watchmaker has received the appropriate training to create watch parts, and to repair and build watches. This is usually learned through apprenticeship. Certified Watchmaker - As with a standard watchmaker, a CW can build and repair watches and watch parts, but the CW has completed the courses and examinations to pass a state certification exam on practical and theoretical horology. Jewelry Wholesaler - This wholesaler sells jewelry to jewelry retailers. Jewelry Retailer - The retailer sells jewelry to the public. Sales Associate - Someone who works as a sales person in a jewelry store. Please note that none of the above titles qualify a person as a professional appraiser. Invest in precious metals today!
