  I had several pieces appraised by Elly. She was very professional and efficient. I called a few different appraisal companies and their prices were very comprehensive and competitive, especially since I didn't know what was real, what was costume, and what was a mix.  I will definitely use them in the future.

  I needed appraisals on 2 items and contacted Cal Coast. Their website was very clear and helpful. Communication was fast and clear. I was able to get an appointment the following day. The pricing was very fair. Their facility was clean and secure. Elly even answered several of my questions during the appointment. As promised, the report was completed within 24 hours with great detail. I was very happy with Cal Coat Jewelry Appraisers and would use them again. Thank you Kathleen and Elly.

  Kathleen and Elly are wonderful, knowledgeable and honest. Found them on Google and was more than happy with their services! They are located in a cozy little shopping mall steps from the beach. Cute office too!

What to Expect

Accurate and Convenient Appraisals

Your jewelry is professionally appraised to the industry’s highest standards. While we never require you to leave any items with us, if needed, jewelry can be kept in our secure office vault during large-quantity valuations or extended research at your request.

All jewelry is first thoroughly cleaned and examined. Depending on the items being appraised and intended purposes, our expert gemologists will follow these steps to appraise jewelry and provide accurate documentation:

All diamonds are measured and assigned an estimated weight as well as color, clarity, and cut grades
Diamonds over 1 carat will have a plot diagram provided in order to help you identify your stone’s unique characteristics
Gemstones are identified, graded, measured and assigned an estimated weight
Pearls are identified, measured, counted, and graded
Watches are described by brand, model and serial number in addition to materials, movement, appearance, and unique characteristics
Items are photographed and photos are included in the appraisal report for your reference
GIA grading systems will be attached for further reference
Definitions of value and other information, such as the intended use of the report, are included to ensure clarity and accuracy
