Neil is an astonishing expert, and likely the most experienced appraiser in the entire state, if not the entire country. From the moment I walked in, Neil spent more than enough time answering my questions, and gave me a history on differences in diamond cut and grading from different labs that was absolutely fascinating. I never, during the entire visit, did I feel rushed. It is evident from Neil's enthusiasm that he takes a lot of pride in what he does, and he passes that on to the consumer. If you are looking to get a diamond appraised in the Denver Metro area, I would HIGHLY recommend you visit with Neil over anyone else.

It was the best investment in gems I've ever made. He works in a small workspace, so no interruptions during my visit. He has my highest...
