In 1973 I became involved with the Decorative Arts in my Family’s Antique Business in Australia that specializes in Diamond, Pearl, Antique & Estate Jewelry. In 1987 I relocated to NYC where I worked for the auction house Doyle New York. In 1989 I took up a position with Christie’s Jewelry Department on Park Avenue where I provided Diamond, Antique & Estate Jewelry Appraisal, Estimates & Condition Reports. In 1992, I established my own Jewelry Appraisal business at my present location within Rockefeller Center in NYC.

As an active Diamond, Antique & Estate Jewelry Appraiser, it is my responsibility to give client's the professional, impartial and non-biased information they need to know.

For Insurance: Retail Replacement Appraisal

Retail Replacement Value is defined as the price it would cost to replace an item with one of similar and like quality purchased in the most appropriate marketplace within a limited amount of time.

For Estate or Gift Tax & Selling: Fair Market Appraisal

Fair Market value is defined as the price at which property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts. The values are what the buyer would pay which may not necessarily be what the seller would ultimately receive if selling expenses had been incurred.

For Selling & Equitable Distribution: Marketable Cash Value Appraisal

Marketable Cash Value is defined as the cash price a willing seller would receive for property, net of all selling expenses, from a willing buyer, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts, within a reasonable time period and in a relevant market.

For Loan Collateral, Insolvency & Bankruptcy: Liquidation Appraisal

Liquidation Value is defined as the price realized in a sale situation under forced or limiting conditions and under time constraints. This action may be initiated by the owner or a crediting institution and may not necessarily take place in the most appropriate marketplace.
