Grand Opening!
Today marks the first day of our new blog. We are here to answer any questions anyone may have related to jewelry, gemstones, appraisals etc. We will try to provide unbiased info to anyone who poses a question! Topics may include diamonds, rubies, emeralds and any other type of gemstone. Questions can relate to appraisals, value, quality grading etc. While we can't provide dollar values on items based on descriptions provided to us through the internet(that would be unprofessional and unethical), we can provide guidance. Feel free to ask away and we will try to help. Our team of appraisers has experience ranging up to 24 years in the jewelry business, so all topics can be answered with confidence.

I've recently purchased a diamond but I would like to get it appraised by someone other than the store I purchased it from. How will taking my diamond to your lab benefit me?
It is always a good idea ot have your diamond or jewelry purchase "independently" verified. Many of the characteristics of a diamond can be a matter of opinion. That is why a seller will typically give you the "higher" opinion of the quality, since they are selling the item. Here at UGL, we are neither buying or selling you the item. Our only interest is to find out whther you received the quailty you were expecting and received the value you were hoping for. We have Graduate Gemologists(GIA) who will apply the standards promulgated by the Gemological Institute of America. As we appraise and evaluate your item, we will explain the process to you and you may ask any questions that you like. Of course, the whole process takes place in front of you while you watch. Stop in to our website for more info at www.uglinc.com
Hope this helps!
