I was needing a professional to evaluate some jewelry that was left to our family so I went to Google for my options. After wading through numerous appraisers, I decided to use Melissa at Gann Diamonds & Appraisals, primarily because of the glowing reviews and the proximity to my home. My work/life schedule is often busy so I appreciated her flexibility when I set my appointment, then had to reschedule it the very next day.

We cannot recommend Melissa Gann enough for a wonderfully personalized and affordable experience. Thank...

If I ever had to get another ring (I pray that never happens), Melissa would be the first person I reached out to and would be the first person I would recommend to any of my friends about to take this important step in...
