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.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement through this process. I hope this will inspire others to continue their studies. There is no limit to continued learning in this profession. You provide us the platform for growth.

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.
