What is the role of the jewellery appraiser? A qualified jewellery appraiser should provide you with a sense of trust, a high level of expertise and personal comfort. Any pieces you select for appraisal, whether estate, antique, new or in between should be examined in your presence, with simple explanation concerning appraisal practices and systems. Should you feel intimidated by the appraisal or the process? Absolutely not. Should you earn money? Possibly, but that’s ...always up to you, dependent on the value determined and your wish to keep or sell any given item. Should you have a clearer understanding of what you own, why it is or isn’t of value, and what you may choose to do with it? Yes! That’s the point of appraisal. To empower you with specific knowledge so you can make informed choices. Steven Knight, GG, RMV, CJA-CAP, is a highly-regarded jewellery appraiser, known not only for his expert skills but as importantly, for his keen ability to make his customers feel at ease with the knowledge they’re receiving an honest, expert appraisal with full documentation, usually for the purpose of obtaining insurance to cover damage or loss. The Jewellery Judge, located in the heart of the charming Locke Street District in Hamilton, Ontario is the perfect choice when it comes to having your valued pieces appraised.

Words of wisdom Gabrielle Chanel

Steven Knight, the Jewellery Judge, pioneered the now widely popular While You Watch jewellery appraisal concept, which provides clients the assurance that their jewellery never leaves their sight.

One of our proudest client testimonials, from the The Honorable Lincoln M. Alexander: Steven provided me with an expert appraisal of several pieces of family jewellery. I was impressed with his vast knowledge and the little time is took for him to complete the appraisal process. Steven, thank you very, very much for your fine and efficient jewellery appraisal! I would personally recommend Steven to anybody." - THE HONOURABLE LINCOLN M. ALEXANDER
