Dear all Could I please draw your attention to a new project that I launched on December 15th. Jewellery Appraisers of the World https://www.ja-world.com/
The project has several aims, the most important being:
-::- To raise the perceived professionalism of Jewellery Appraisers worldwide.
-::- To provide a resource for consumers to find fully qualified Appraisers in their area who have had all of their credentials verified.
-::- To present each Appraiser's business in a luxurious environment that has no adverts.
JAW, as it has become known, is an online directory but quite unlike any others open to our profession. We already have some of the finest Jewellery Valuers in the world as Associates, in 12 countries.
If you are an Appraiser: I invite you to see if you are eligible to be featured on JAW. https://www.ja-world.com/associate-req.html The Directory is not open to Retailers or those whose principal business activity is buying/selling jewellery.
If you are a Consumer: Find an Appraisers near you by using an interactive map, or by using the short-cuts to Countries, States, Regions and Cities. You will be able to compare Appraisers easily as each have data boxes listing their credentials, prices, access details, services etc. You can also read/write reviews (these are verified using a unique, secure system too).
Whilst this is a commercial operation, those of you who know me will realise that this is actually about something much bigger.
I welcome your feedback and would be very grateful for any of your efforts to help spread the word.
Kind regards to all Adrian

Update: We are now moving into Switzerland, Germany and Austria and would welcome contact from professional gem labs and appraisers in these countries. The entire site website will shortly be translated into German.
How exciting!
Kind regards to all Adrian

Just a quick update for those who are interested, since the last update we have now launched in Switzerland, Germany, Singapore and India.
We have now also introduced a "free first year" policy, so those businesses that are eligible to be featured on the JAW website can now try the project for a year without any costs at all and then judge us by the results before deciding whether to continue into another year.
Kind regards to all Adrian
