Kara at Huddleston Fine Jewelry Appraisals recently put together a full report of heirloom jewelry for Insurance purposes for me. Outstanding documentation and research was presented to me. I wholeheartedly recommend HJFA for fine jewelry appraisal. I plan to return in the future for other projects. Thank you, Kara!
Great consultation experience, was a fun and relaxed way to find out what kinds of jewelry I inherited with no pressure to sell or buy anything besides the consultation I booked. Very wonderful to work with and highly recommend for knowledgeable insight on jewelry and gem pieces.
I brought in some old family jewelry pieces from my mom's safety deposit box, none of which turned out to be of significant value. Nonetheless, Kara put time and effort and care into going through all of it with me, and seemed genuinely appreciative and respectful of the sentimental value they held for me. I walked away more informed about the items, and even with recommendations about where to go for repair of the pearls and a pocket watch. Kara was kind and professional and helpful, as well as very knowledgeable, and it was overall a very positive experience.
