Estimation of Value / Appraisals


First of all, we  turquoise! 

Equally important, a approximation of value of your turquoise costs you only $35.00 PER ITEM.  

Most noteworthy, We offer this service for walk-in clients & over the Internet! 

Moreover, just e-mail: 

(A) First, detailed digital photographs of your piece(s) showing close-up shots of the front and back and any other helpful angles. e-mail: dwightandchristy@gmail.com.                                                   

(B) Second, measurements of piece (i.e. length of necklace, etc.)                                                                                            

 (C) Third, weight of the piece (in grams or ounces)

  1. Correspondingly, I accept paypal payment for this service through my paypal account which is dwightandchristy@gmail.com. 

  2. Notably, approximations of value usually take from 3 to 5 business days, depending on the amount of research required and my immediate work load.

*Again, this service is NOT a formal written appraisal, but is an estimate of value based on 25 years of experience and continuing education through visiting other dealers and their shops, Indian jewelry shows, as well as local and national Indian Markets. Moreover, we also utilize paid subscription internet websites for the latest information.

  • Additionally, we have created turquoise jewelry ourselves! Notably, we have been guests at the Royston mining district and personally mined turquoise. Also, we have been guests of Freeport McMoran at the Bisbee turquoise tailing piles. Uniquely, we cut turquoise from the rough stone, shape turquoise for jewelry, and silversmith the finish product.

  • Also, our 30 years of experience of buying, selling, and evaluating turquoise jewelry is our foundation for your accurate verbal approximation of value.

  • Coupled with the fact that we regularly attend Native American Indian jewelry shows. As a matter of fact, we go to the Santa Fe Indian Market each August. Additionally, we attend the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. Also, we frequent other local and regional Native American Indian jewelry Shows.

  • Finally, we regularly perform approximations of value. Equally important, this service can either as a walk-in service or internet e-mail correspondence.

Feedback from a recent internet client :

Hello Dwight: 
I want to thank you for the wonderfully detailed appraisal of my squash blossom necklace – right down to the details of the maker of the piece. Incredible work! I am astounded!
All the best,
John H.
Thanks Dwight,
that is good news and as always you are great at both providing little tutoring and presenting a simple evaluation in a way that makes sense and is useful. Much appreciated,                                                                                                                        have a great day!!                                                                                                Jeff R.
