Appraisal rates

The cost for our services depends on the type of appraisal provided and is detailed as follows.  All fees exclude G.S.T..

Appraisal fees are based on the estimates of time required to appraise standard items, i.e. diamond engagement rings, gemstone jewellery, most watches.  Complicated/exceptional items may incur a surcharge. In such case the fee will be quoted prior to commencing the appraisal.

Complicated items, as example, in terms the quantity, size and type of gemstone, as well as watches and antique items requiring research can take more time to appraise and cost more to appraise. Using the handy photo upload feature to email a photo of your item can allow us to provide you with a quote, should you feel that your item is of the more unusual nature

If you have a specific request and would like to speak with Harold please call 604-771-7794
