Before You Contact a Fine Jewelry & Gems Specialist

Confirm the specialist has in-house gemological expertise — GIA-trained gemologists can significantly improve descriptions.
Ask whether they recommend laboratory certification and who covers that cost (seller or house).
Request their reserve price policy: can you set a minimum price, and what happens if it doesn't sell?
Check if the house has access to international buyers — jewelry often achieves better results with cross-border competition.
Understand the payment timeline: after the hammer falls, most houses pay out 30–45 days after sale.
