Course Description
NEW COURSE! This brand new course is the first of two new Principles of Valuation (POV)
courses of study for Gems and Jewelry appraisers. Whether you are new to the
jewelry appraisal profession or regularly rely on the services of a jewelry
appraisal professional, you will find the most current appraisal terminology
together with appraisal development and report writing instruction presented in
this course invaluable. GJ201/202 is designed to build a strong
foundation and understanding of principals of valuation as they apply to gems
and jewelry appraising, and to introduce the student to ASA descriptive
guidelines for gems and jewelry. The required sections of an appraisal
report for insurance coverage will be presented as modules with student
exercises that encourage individual thinking and allow the student to apply
valuation theory to his or her unique practice. Students are required to
bring a current appraisal for insurance coverage and will apply the theory and
writing curricula to develop their report throughout the course. The limited
class size affords participants the opportunity to network with top-level appraisers from across the country.
Instructional Methods
The instructor will present material through interactive
lecture and discussion combined with class exercises to create a positive
learning environment in which students are encouraged to ask questions and share experiences.
Course Audience

a career in appraising gems and jewelry, currently practicing appraisers, and
