Serving the Professional Jewelry Appraiser with Pride™
Since 1981, The National Association of Jewelry Appraisers is the only appraisal association in the United States that devotes itself solely to the appraisal of fine gems, jewelry, and timepieces.
The NAJA Appraisal Studies Course has been a real asset for me to broaden my horizons as a jewelry professional. It is not easy and I often wondered why parts of it were not easier for me, but as I researched items for assignments, the answer was clear. It is designed to force you to explore, research and learn your way towards becoming a much more competent and knowledgeable appraiser. It has been worth every penny spent and every minute invested.

I know NAJA is a GREAT organization and there is not a week that goes by that I do not mention the benefits of the organization to another jeweler or gemologist. I personally feel that the more members sharing knowledge will help the jewelry and appraisal community, it has helped me. Before I felt like a small boat in a big ocean, now I feel like part of a Navy Fleet.

I think NAJA is such a great organization run by great people and am glad I joined; it was a great move for me professionally. Being a part of NAJA really made me want to “step up my game.”

The NAJA Appraisal Studies Course is very thorough. I have been a member since 1995. Gail Brett Levine and her team are doing everything they can to support, educate and empower fine jewelry appraisers. As a GIA GG and someone interested in the jewelry appraisal field, the NAJA has what you are looking for. The J in the acronym says it all... JEWELRY.
