YOUR PORTLAND METRO JEWELRY APPRAISER
EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST
When you have something valuable or deeply personal, you want to know exactly who you’re trusting with it.
At Jewelry Appraisers of Portland, you’ll work directly with John Higley, drawing on more than 40 years of hands-on experience in gems and jewelry. As a Graduate Gemologist of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), John provides independent, professional appraisals with your privacy, security and confidence in mind.
Your jewelry never disappears into a back room. Every examination is performed in front of you, while you watch, ask questions and learn about your jewelry firsthand.
As an independent appraiser, John does not buy or sell jewelry, allowing him to remain focused on providing an objective evaluation without a sales agenda.
Appointments are private and conducted one-on-one, with convenient free parking around the building.
Whether you need documentation for insurance, guidance on a family heirloom, or simply want to understand what you have, John is here to help.
OUR DIFFERENCE

John does not buy, sell, or participate in jewelry transactions. His only responsibility is to provide an objective, professional evaluation of what you own.
Whether you purchased a piece yesterday or inherited it generations ago, his assessment is independent of where it came from or what you paid. You receive honest information, supported by professional knowledge and research, without a sales agenda.
NO BUYING. NO SELLING. NO PRESSURE.
