The services of a professional jewelry appraiser / forensic gemologist may be required for litigation support or expert witness testimony. Forensic gemology can be can be especially important in cases involving diamonds, colored gemstones, watches and fine jewelry. A professionally trained appraiser has the expertise to offer opinions of value in an unbiased manner to aid the court in reaching an equitable decision. The problem I see most often is that the appraiser is engaged too late to provide full benefit. Engaging the appraiser before depositions are taken can often expedite an out-of-court settlement. |
