I met Michael at a jewelry store in the Glendale, CO area for a ring insurance appraisal back in August 2016. He was very professional, courteous and communicated his process each step of the way. That very same day he provided me with a detailed appraisal and valuation. However, my reason for four, and not five, stars is because I recently learned from a second gemologist (from an online buyer Michael recommended to sell the diamond) that the ring has I1 clarity and not SI2 clarity - a huge difference when it comes to value. Though I trust this was a simple mistake, with any jewelry valuation, I would recommend Michael as a good place to start and then go get a second opinion. read more

I was looking to have an engagement ring appraised over a weekend and Michael was recommended to me. Time was tight and Michael was very accommodating. Michael was very helpful talking through the 4Cs and explaining why he was rating each as he did. Within a day he provided me with a detailed appraisal for my insurance company. Buying an engagement ring is a nerve racking event, so I was definitely comforted by Michael's expertise. read more

Had an engagement ring appraisal. Amazingly quick response and accommodating appointment time. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. Michael has enough experience and history in the business that he's not looking to make a quick buck off of you, just an honest, fair appraisal. Had a printout and email within 30 minutes. Wouldn't expect better service from anyone else in the business, he's the best of the best! read more

I was visiting family in Denver and thought I lost my wedding ring...it was uninsured. My mom told me to get it appraises and recommended Colorado Gem Labs. I contacted Michael Nedler and he met with me the same day, did the appraisal, and emailed it to me so I could forward it to my insurance company. A great service! read more

I recently inherited a lovely old ring from the 1940s, along with two appraisals for it...one from 1981 and another from 1996. I reached out to both of those jewelry stores and was told that I must leave my ring with them for an appraisal to be performed. Since I preferred not to do that, one of the employees kindly gave me Michael's name. When I called and spoke with him, he said that I could meet him either at his office in Cherry Creek or his home. I opted for the former and found him to be friendly, knowledgeable, thorough, and speedy! Unlike prior appraisers that I've encountered over the years, I was very impressed with this experience and would highly recommend his services! I'll definitely call him in the future!!! read more

Michael was amazing! Not only did he talk me through every step of the appraisal process, he also was extremely informative about how to get the best bang for my buck when it comes to selling my jewelry! His appraisal was emailed to me within a few hours of my visit with him! I have already recommended him to several friends who are trying to sell their diamond jewelry. Definitely worth a visit!! read more

I would highly recommend Colorado Gem Labs. We recently had two rings appraised by Mr. Nedler and he was professional, friendly, and prompt.

Michael at Colorado Gem Labs is wonderful. He appraised my engagement and wedding rings. He was easy to make an appointment with, he met me at a convenient location, and was able to meet the very next day. When the original jeweler messed up the re-build of my engagement ring, Michael was very gracious and re-appraised the new (correct) ring and made it very easy on me to do so. Michael is a great appraiser and got me the best value for my rings in the appraisal for insurance purposes. :) I highly recommend him! read more

Easy to schedule, quick appraisal, no issues at all. highly recommended.

I used Colorado Gem Labs for an appraisal on my engagement ring. Michael is incredibly professional, kind, and definitely an expert! He not only provided an extremely thorough appraisal, but he was happy to explain his process and educate me a bit more on diamonds. I was in his office for about half an hour and received the appraisal about an hour after that - it was so quick! Scheduling an appointment was an absolute breeze and I will definitely be recommending him to anyone I know who gets engaged! read more

Michael was great! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Extremely fast and efficient. Most places take weeks to appraise, but he gets everything he needs while you wait and sends you an appraisal only a few hours after you leave. read more

Michael Nedler at Colorado Gem Labs is the best in the appraisal business. Professional and outstanding service is what you can expect when hiring Colorado Gem Labs for your appraisal needs! read more

I've worked with a few other jewelry appraisers in Denver, and Michael outshines them all BY FAR. He walked me through all of the ins and outs of my ring, explained to me what he was looking at and measuring, and made sure I understood why was going on throughout the entire appraisal process. The attention to detail that was put into the appraisal he provided me with was incredible! He was quick, convenient, and absolutely fair priced for his services. I will only be using Michael for appraisals from now on, and recommend him highly. read more
