Rebekah Anderson, Earth Pebbles Gemology, LLC **BY APPOINTMENT ONLY** 1017 Dresser Court, Raleigh, NC 27609

"I called a jeweler for an appraisal and they recommended Earth Pebbles Gemology. They returned my call in a day (on Friday), and I made an appointment for the following Tuesday. Dana did the appraisal while I waited. I also met Rebekah and they were both knowledgeable and so kind. Their office is just beautiful - the aesthetics were so nice, I wanted to move in. It is very difficult to find gemologists/antique jewelry appraisers, and I'm so thankful to them for their expertise. Now that I know them, I am more than comfortable leaving jewelry for an appraisal. Glad to recommend!!"

"We worked with Rebekah to find a center stone for our ring and it was a very special experience. The first visit was purely educational without seeing any gemstone, instead she took the time to help us set a goal and strategy based on our limited budget. After that, it was more targeted and she found us a suitable one with just 2 visits. A valuable resource at her place is the preowned stones--they are GIA certified like new ones, meet all current standards--and less expensive compared to major online stores like Blue Nile. Her microscope is also better than most other stores, which give you a chance to see the stone clearly. A minor problem we encountered is that Rebekah is very slow at replying emails, which delayed our first visit for 1 month. After that we communicated via text message and it was resolved. So that's the only thing to note if you work with Rebekah--use phone instead of email, hahah"

"Rebekah is extremely personable, professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with...Having been in the business so long, she has an extensive 'knowledge-base', as well as many excellent professional contacts to reach out to. She went 'above and beyond' to find the most appropriate price for the antique estate piece I was selling. I had a very positive experience with Rebekah, and would not hesitate to utilize her services again..."

"Rebekah is very professional and personable in her manner and assessments. I found her completely honest and trustworthy. She asked a lot of questions which helped her formulate the answers I was looking for regarding insurance, retail, and wholesale values for my loose stones and mounted jewelry. She tested the carat weight of my gold and stones. She even gave me ideas on where and how to sell my items. I thoroughly enjoy our visit."

"Great experience. Rebekah was super friendly and incredibly intelligent. She was helpful and thorough in her examination of my jewelry. The "Valuation" report that was provided was professional and detailed. Rebekah provides a great experience unlike walking into a jewelry story to obtain values. She provides you the value during your appointment which means you do not have to leave your items. HUGE plus!!. I would highly recommend Rebekah without any hesitation and I do not give "high" recommendations flippantly."
