ASA Gems & Jewelry Appraisers You Can Trust

Whatever your needs, members of the American Society of Appraisers Houston Chapter will help you determine the value of your gems and jewelry. When you choose an appraiser that has ASA credentials, you know you have chosen a competent, ethical professional.

While all our appraisers have a general knowledge of valuation methodology, some of our members specialize in appraisals of specific types of objects or assignments. Whether your appraisal needs are tax related, such as charitable donation or probate, or insurance related, such as scheduling property or claim settlement, or litigation services, our Houston Chapter is happy to connect you with accredited appraisers in the right field. Visit our Appraisal Disciplines page for an expanded list of appraisers.

The American Society of Appraisers Houston Chapter hosts a variety of events to keep our members current in trends and standards in the industry. These events also give our members the opportunity to exchange ideas and expand their views based on each other's experiences.

About Gems & Jewelry Valuation

 

The value of diamonds and colored gemstones is based primarily on beauty, durability and rarity.  Because subtle differences in their quality so often lead to dramatic differences in value, it requires both education in gemology and ongoing knowledge of current markets to appraise them accurately. The materials, techniques and designs of the jewelry arts are matters for lifetime study.

Although small in number, ASA is the acknowledged leader in gems and jewelry appraising—the appraisers Federal agencies turn to most often to perform the most sensitive assignments.

Our credential holders (Accredited Member, Accredited Senior Appraiser and Master Gemologist Appraiser®) are among those that consumers trust the most for all their varied needs, from insurance coverage appraisals to estate valuation and liquidation matters.

NOTE: The designation ASA following the appraiser's name stands for Accredited Senior Appraiser and AM for Accredited Member. A Candidate member is one who is currently in pursuit of fulfilling the education and experience requirements to become a designated ASA member.
