My fascination with gemstones began at a young age when my grandmother taught me how to make jewelry, an experience that sparked a deep appreciation for the beauty and value of gemstones. This early connection inspired me to pursue a career as an Independent Jewelry Appraiser. I am continually educating myself, sharpening my skills, and improving my ability to notice and identify subtle details. The more I learn, the more I appreciate that gems and diamonds are true masterpieces of nature. As a fisherman and outdoorsman with a great appreciation for the natural world, Spring Creek Gems & Appraisals is a name that symbolizes the things that I care about most. I provide expert evaluation that clients can trust, ensuring the true worth of their jewelry and personal items are accurately assessed.
