I don't think the website mentions this, but Deepesh is a GIA certified gemologist (thought this may be helpful for those that are looking for this sort of thing) . He also has a very nice selection of sapphires, in all colors. We got our engagement ring appraised here and Deepesh was very honest and knowledgeable. He was very transparent with the process, and showed us how he appraises each aspect of the ring. The whole process was done in front of us and took around 20-30 minutes. He was also honest with us about specific drawbacks of the sapphire we got that allowed us to buy it at that price. Overall, I'm happy to hear that we paid a very fair price for the ring and learned more about sapphires from him. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get their jewelry appraised or to buy gemstones. Additional info: in addition to appraisals, I believe he also does jewelry repairs, gemstone sourcing, custom jewelry, and sells ring settings. read more

We went to IGAC today for an appraisal of our engagement ring and were very happy with the experience! Deepesh, a GIA certified gemologist, was very professional and willing to educate us about the sapphire we chose for our center stone as well as show us his own selection of sapphires that included a unique bi-color of red and blue. He walked us through many different factors that contributed to the price we paid for as well as gave us a recommendation to send in the stone for additional testing to see if it matches the origin he suspects due to its florescence. Highly recommend going to him if you're in Orange County for appraisals, gemstone sourcing, or jewelry in general! read more

Deepesh is a very friendly person that knows what he's talking about since he's been in the industry for a long time. He helped me appraise my ring for a good price. He's also very knowledgeable on gemstones and diamonds. We had a good long chat about gemstones since I had no idea how valuable they can be. I like that he's not very pushy but instead helps you find a good deal if you're ever looking for any gems or diamonds. I would recommend coming here to check out this items are getting your jewelry appraised. He's located on the 2nd floor near the escalator.

Very responsive. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend. Came here to get appraisal for insurance.

If you need a jewelry appraisal, look no further... Deepesh was awesome, knowledgable, fast and kind- highly recommended!!!

Deepesh went above and beyond. Called in the same day to ask if I could make an appointment. Luckily he said I could drop by that same day, since I was in a bit of a rush. He was so knowledgable and shared so much information on the piece I was appraising. I only came in for a verbal appraisal, but ended up re-sizing, adjusting the setting and cleaning another piece. I have done these services in other jewelry stores and know Deepesh pricing is very reasonable. I was in store and already planning my next visit. He is a jewelry designer and they have a great variety of stones in store. I plan on upgrading and remounting some pieces with him. I worked in a big brand jewelry store for years and know the quality and prices Deepesh offers are great! Costumer service was top notch and he always had my stone visible to me. read more

This place locate in Asian Mall 2nd floor. Always call and alert him when you are going to be there since he might be busy with other things. He is very responsive since we didn't set appointment with him for appraisal so we have to wait around 20 min which I didn't mind because it gives me time to walk around the mall. He does sell some jewelry and I am sure he can get you any types of stone's including diamonds if you asked but I was there for insurance appraisal on my ring. He is very patience , honest & meticulous. He takes time to explaining to me what he is doing and why. The price that he charges for appraisal is very reasonable. Would definitely recommend friends, family and anybody who need to have your jewelry pieces appraisal here read more

I decided to appraise my jewelry for insurance purposes. Deepesh and his brother completed the appraisals in a thorough manner, beyond my expectation. They are very knowledgeable with diamonds, which all of my pieces had. He completed the inspection right in front of me, something I felt comfortable with since most places I reached out to wanted me to leave my pieces and come back later. Of course, their price is very competitive and I would recommend you check them out. I will be coming back. read more

Great service . We were able to get our appraisal done on the spot without having our rings out of our sight. Our appraiser was very professional, careful, and knowledgeable. The price list are posted on his webpage and is very reasonable. He even helped arrange repairs to our ring while we wait and offer advice on maintenance and protection of our jewelry. He also have a lot of beautiful jewelry for sell but never at any point making a sell pitch during our meeting. We would definitely use his service again and would use his expertise for future purchases. read more

I had a great experience with Deepesh. I contacted him thru yelp and received feedback in a timely fashion. Deepesh was very informative, professional and kind. We initially went in for an appraisal for jewelry insurance purposes but will be returning. They have a large selection of natural gemstones, bigger than any I've ever seen. He was patient and even entertained us by showing us various pieces and other jewelry that he knew we had no intention to buy. We greatly appreciated that he and his father did not pressure us into spending more money than intended that day. It is wonderful to work with business professionals who prioritize building trust and confidence with their clientele. read more

After calling in multiple spots for appraisals I happened to stumble upon this one. I called in and Deepesh was very nice and kind over the phone.

Deepesh and his brother were very kind and upfront about what I had. I am more than happy to get the appraisals I needed for a good price. I HIGHLY recommend going to this spot and give it the praise this business deserves! read more
