Course Description
This course will provide appraisers with an in-depth understanding of
the essential principles and processes necessary to develop and report an appraisal for the
intended use of insurance scheduling. The focus of the course is
the practical application of the principles learned in GJ201 with USPAP Standard
7 and Standard 8 forming the basis for the development and
reporting of a gems and jewelry appraisal. Students will receive a thorough understanding
of when and how to apply the primary approaches to
valuation, recognizing and ranking relevant characteristics of specific types of property,
core concepts of data research and reconciliation, narrative report writing
and the required elements of a USPAP-compliant and ASA-compliant report. To
receive credit for the course students will construct a new appraisal report
or will modify an existing appraisal report of a single item of
jewelry to demonstrate their understanding of and competency in the material presented in
class.
Successful completion of GJ202 is required for GJ
accreditation through ASA.

of focused assignments that will be completed in-class and between sessions. The class will be highly interactive and
