Well we didn’t expect this but the overwhelming response for passwords to the Jewelry Appraisal Network drove us NUTS!

It seems that everyone wanted access to the other sites (gems, appraisals, resources etc) and they were getting confused with which password went where.

Not good when clients and Members had a password for their Jewelry Appraisal Account - then another one for their Members FREE Jewelry appraisals - then ditto for the Gemstones - PLUS the Membership site password - AND FINALLY the Network password for the other websites.

So we solved it today by scrapping the passwords and logins to the Network sites (just one less thing to worry about).

Don’t forget for those of you who have a Jewelry Appraisal OR Gemstone Appraisal account - DO NOT use the same email address or username and password for your MEMBERS FREE APPRAISALS because that will effect your existing account.

So that’s it - another problem solved. It is now easier for you all to read and research all the other sites in the network simply by - well going there

Deb wrote to me recently and I thought this would be a good explanation to her question, as she is a Gemologist in the States:

This was her first contact…

Is your site a good resource for gemologists in the US? If so, could you explain how it would be useful.

I may have overlooked it, but what is the membership fee and how often does it have to be renewed.

Thank you,

Deb (surname withheld), G.G.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was my FIRST answer:

G’day Deb and many thanks for your email

Most of our Members are people involved in the jewelry trade (not gemologists or valuers) but those who buy and sell jewelry on eBay or the Markets or in their own online or off line stores.

Our Members come from all over the world - not just the States.

We have a easy to follow Jewelry Appraisal Course (like Dummy’s Guide to Appraisals) for those who want to learn a little more, but the big draw card is the three complimentary Loose Gemstone and Jewelry Appraisals our Members get each month.

You can find more details here:
http://www.online-jewelry-appraisals.net/benefits/
OR from the Main page of the Members Website.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards. David

Then Deb wrote back with some further queries…

David,

Thank you so much for you immediate response. I am a gemologist and do appraisals as a part of my job. What I really am interested in learning is, if your site would be a good resource for assisting me with some of my appraisals (getting gemstone prices, researching estate pieces, etc.).

Have a wonderful day and looking forward to hearing from you.

Deb

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So finally I wrote back with this information - which is the important part I wanted you all to read as it may help you too.

G’day again Deb and many thanks for your swift reply.

Just two points here - plus a special offer you can’t refuse

Firstly; there are NO lists of prices or Antiques items etc. While we personally worked within the Antique Jewelry Trade having three retail shops for over 35 years, we became the “Go To Guys” for other appraisers to get Antique and Vintage Valuations.

So we ‘built in’ that to the Online Jewelry Appraisal Software.

Secondly; the biggest problem throughout the appraisal world is two standards, which the GIA and our own GAA *TRY* to satisfy. That is:

1. a method by which everyone can use the same standards - so we all end up with the same results - within reason.
2. a method by which each appraisal provides a specific description (together with photo if possible) to identify each and every item we appraise.

Consistency - consistency - consistency.

Enter the Online Jewelry Appraisal Software System.

With one database - everyone uses the same gemstone, gold prices, manufacture and setting costs and so on. This provides consistency and avoids the wild inflated and variable prices seen in the marketplace.

With one database - everyone gets the same standard descriptions with photos if required, to a standard HIGHER than required by the Insurance Industry - the people we really do the appraisal for.

All our Business to business clients (B2b) can change the letterheads and address contact information on each Certificate to Brand their own business. Those retail store clients can complete a complex appraisal and print the results in under 15 minutes - in store. Higher profits for them as we have a price structure so good, they can easily double or triple their profits - sometimes more!

Everybody wins…

EXCEPT - there is a reluctance by the Gemology Trade to embrace the new technology. I think they don’t understand it so are afraid it will replace them. That is NOT our intention, and many of your Jewelry Trade (and some gemologists) really love the system.

There are other software packages of course - but none have the Antique and Vintage adjustments built in - or the convenience of doing this online - without any major investment.

• Plus no other company can compete with our prices.

That just leaves the security aspect. Our SECURE servers will keep your appraisals in our databases for up to seven years. It even sends out notices to remind our clients after each year for renewals (know what that does for your bottom line profits) and if there is a sudden ‘Spike’ in the Gold price. No longer a worry for individuals.

So here’s the deal - told you there was one coming

Try a complimentary Appraisal Kit for yourself. See what it can do for you. Push it, stretch it - see if it answers your problems and at a price which is simply brilliant (we have held prices for the trade for over two years and do not expect a change for 2008).

Remember there is also our great support staff to help you PLUS access to a qualified gemologist Valuer with over 35 years experience - ME!

Please go here to register. If you don’t like it - fine. But at least then you’ll know and can stop guessing.
http://www.online-jewelry-appraisals.biz/ and use STEP one to start your journey.

Remember Members get three complimentary Kits per month, but if you are in the Trade you might need more than that. See INSIDE the Valuation Manager for more details.

Kind regards. David

Elite Jewelry Software To Make Your Job Easier.

• Or How To Pay For Your Membership With Free Appraisal Reports.

G’day David here with what has to be the BEST deal I can put together for the benefit of our loyal Members.

As you may already know, there is only ONE ONLINE JEWELRY APPRAISAL SYSTEM in the World, which anyone (and I do mean just about anyone) can use to value their own jewelry and print a Certificate on their own printer from Home or Work.

Over the past few years, since it was first launched, it has been growing and growing and growing at a HUGE rate. It is now being used in more countries around the world than ever before.

Should you wish to use the system for yourselves, there is a link to explain exactly what it is and what it does, available from the ‘Jewelry Center’ Tab on the top of every page in the network. It has several price points depending on your bulk purchase…

…but is available to Members for nothing - zilch - gratis - as a bonus…

Each month as long as you are a current member, you get three free appraisals into your personal Valuation Manager to use on any item of jewelry you want. Rings Bracelets, Chains, Brooches, Earrings, Cuff links, Necklaces, All with or without gemstones in Gold , Silver or Platinum.

• There is a HUGE list (much more than I can explain here), so go check it out if you haven’t had the chance to yet.

Our lowest price for three Kits is $16.95 each - a $50.85 value.

But that’s not all…

We also have a sister website which calculates gemological Lab Reports, available in 7 currencies so anyone can record their gemstone details and print a Lab Report from Home. This too, is a World First.

While there are Trade Prices available, the standard Lab Report cost $19.95 each.

This amounts to over $100 dollars of value in Jewelry and Gemstone appraisals each month.

But they are Free to Members (Why wouldn’t you join?)

Go Register Now!

The cost of just 1 Certificate or Report covers your Membership and as long as you remain a Member, you will receive 3 jewelry and 3 gemstone reports absolutely free each month. A full One Year Membership value, without all the other benefits Members enjoy.

It’s a no brainer for any collector or buyer or seller of jewelry.

The only thing I can’t provide is your participation. A one month Membership gets you all this - Try it!

Members get so many advantages…

Hey Guys ‘n gals, and lovers of jewelry everywhere.

Dan Dan the PLR man (aka ‘the geek’)

Not that I’m involved in writing any of the articles, as my job here is to make sure the Forum is running smooth and the links all work to the VALUE ADDED benefits our Members enjoy.

This includes access to the FREE courses and 3 FREE Jewelry Appraisals each month as long as you remain a Member.

Did I mention they were FREE…

As is access to the Insiders Guide and 3 FREE Gemological Lab reports.

But is that enough?

Dave says ‘No’ so I’ve got to make sure you get even more for your Membership (just $2 bucks a week).

So to answer that, I have to get a small zip file with 4 FREE PLR (Private Label Rights) Articles for you each month. This means you get to add your own name to the bottom and claim them as your own. Use them on your websites, give them away as an autoresponder series, or add them to your eZine Newsletter.

They are all designed to help your jewelry or gemstone or antique business grow.

And if you DON’T have a website yet - then we can help you there too.

So why wouldn’t you register? Do it now and claim your spot, before our site Membership reaches our target number.

It’s NO MORE MEMBERS after that. Bummer…

Plus there’s so much more to come.
