San Diego Gemological Laboratory

"It was a pleasure meeting Elliot today (Thursday, January 25th). Elliot did a fantastic job preparing an insurance appraisal report for my wife’s engagement ring and wedding band set. Elliot is very polite, professional, personable, knowledgeable, and articulate (and enjoys reading Black’s Law Dictionary in his spare time : ). Elliot exceeded all expectations!"

"I brought in a pair of his and hers Rolex's to be appraised for insurance purposes. Elliot had mentioned earlier that the process would take an hour or so. I originally thought I would take that time to have breakfast in Old Town. Instead, Elliot invited me in to his office and offered to walk me through the appraisal process. I found the experience to be not only informative, but extremely interesting as well. The end result was that I received a very professional detailed appraisal and valuation report on my watches. In my opinion, Elliot exceeded my expectations at every turn. San Diego Gemological Laboratory is now my go to for any future gem or jewelry appraisal."

"Elliot was very personable, he took his time to explain to me the various facets of my ring, as I was seeking an accurate appraisal for insurance purposes. Elliot was very accurate and his opinion was based on the science. He was able to explain to me the science of appraising the ring in layman's terms. His expertise and knowledge was very evident. I highly recommend Elliot for your jewelry appraisals."

"I went to Elliot to have an engagement ring I inherited appraised. Elliot was friendly, professional, thorough, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He spent a full hour with me, explaining every step of the appraisal process and answering all my questions. It is evident that Elliot enjoys his work, which made it an absolute pleasure to work with him. I highly recommend Elliot and will absolutely use his services if I ever need jewelry appraised in the future."

"Really great experience! Elliot was very knowledgeable and thorough. He talked us through all of the steps of the appraisal, educating us on parts of the process and taking the time to show us images of how he was making his determinations. He also gave some recommendations for wear and protection of the pieces. Would highly recommend using his appraisal services."
