Dear Lois,

We want to thank you for the quality of service you provided with the appraisal of our estate jewelry. Our appraisals were done in a professional and timely manner with great attention to detail and care for each piece. Your expert knowledge of diamonds and gemstones was evident. We were most impressed with your ability to test and identify each and every piece and felt extremely confident with your finished appraisals.

Your impressive credentials speak volumes and certainly exceeded our expectations. It was a pleasure working with you and we look forward to doing business with you in the future. We highly recommend your services to others. Thanks for your personal touch.

I first met Lois years ago while she worked at a high end jewelry store in Raleigh, NC. I was immediately impressed with her knowledge of fine gem stones and her professional and courteous style. Years later, I requested that she appraise my ring for a FMV so that I may sell it as an estate piece. Not only did Lois provide me with a quality professional appraisal but she was very instrumental in selling my ring for an excellent price. I could never have done it without her! Her services more than met my expectations. Lois' expertise and knowledge combined with her high standards of integrity place her in high demand in the jewelry industry.
