Jane is a pleasure to do business with and the absolute best there is! First and foremost I don’t think there’s anyone within atleast 100 miles with the same credentials as her. She has probably every certification there is. With that being said I truly believe she is the best in her line of work. I’ve been using her for about 2 years now and I’ve had plenty of jewelry appraised by her.

She is professional, very thorough, personable and without a doubt, the most knowledgeable in her field that I...
Read moreI contacted Jane Chaikowsky of Chaikowsky Jewelry Appraisals to appraise a diamond ring from my mother's estate. I cannot be more complimentary of my complete experience.

Her assistance was invaluable and she went "above and beyond" with recommendations regarding the disposal of the ring and other assets of the estate. I highly recommend Jane for any of your jewelry...
