The Natural Sapphire Company specializes in natural untreated sapphires. We have
more experience in dealing with this specific gemstone species than any other company.
For this reason, we offer comprehensive appraisal services. Our appraisal service
is arguably the most accurate and up to date appraisal that can be given for any
sapphire or sapphire jewelry item. After all, in order to correctly appraise a gemstone,
you must be extremely experienced with day-to-day market prices. Because we sell
more natural sapphires than any other company, we are best suited to offer accurate
appraisals.
Our appraisal reports are recognized by all major reputable jewelers and insurance
companies.

* We have the most advanced laboratory equipment used in identifying what type of treatments may
have been subjected to your gemstone. We can very accurately determine if a gemstone has been treated
by means of heating, diffusion, irradiation (including Be treated sapphires), glass filling
(including lead glass) and many more advanced treatments. Our appraisal and laboratory testing is at
the highest standards possible in the world of gemology.
Laser Engraving
As a additional service, we offer laser engraving at no extra charge. This can be
very beneficial for security and insurance documentation.
(The gemstone must be loose for this service, or can be unset for laser engraving
and reset for an additional setting fee.)
Appraisal Pricing
We have one price for appraisals. We do not have complicated multi-tiered pricing
like most other appraisal services and gemstone laboratories.
Our appraisals are accurate, professional, and of excellent value.
The standard appraisal fee is $250 (plus any return shipping and insurance costs).
Additional GIA Laboratory certification can be requested for an additional fee.
