Diamond owners can present to their insurer a realistic Insurance Replacement Value Appraisal certificate, together with the quality report that it is based upon, and save substantial money for insurance premiums. Enter all the information from your diamond's major laboratory quality report (its "cert" from AGSL, EGL, GemData, GIA, HRD or IGI) and immediately receive a printable certificate of its accurate insurance appraisal value, including its eCS value . When you choose this type of appraisal, the monetary results are calculated based on the current cost to an insurer to replace your diamond with one of identical quality and value in every respect.  

Diamond retailers can quickly generate credible Retail Replacement Value Appraisal certificates personalized for their customers, and affordably add value for all of their certified diamond sales without the expense and inconvenience of employing a traditional gemological appraiser. When you elect to receive this certificate, the monetary results are calculated using keystone values typical of the retail diamond trade.

As a valuable aid for comparing certified diamonds regardless of the source of their documents, the e-Praise Cut Score (eCS) is a telling indicator of the quality of their cut proportions. Enter basic (certified or actually measured) data and calculate your diamond's important eCS value.

Our "expert system" program is not a diamond price list, but a thorough and genuine USPAP and ASA compliant appraisal of your Certified Diamond. It applies the traditional gemological appraiser's approach to rating each of your gem's measurements and distinctive features against accepted standards. In the past, this also included the expert's personal observation to adjust for the all-important contribution of the diamond's subjective "fire and brilliance". Our sophisticated geometrical analysis, the e-Praise Cut Score (eCS) formula, applies a rational value adjustment for "brilliance" based on reproducible scientific principles. The eCS adjustment is the secret behind our unique ability to accurately determine a certified diamond's current value without needing to inspect it in person.
