Insurance Documentation - Lesson 1 experience and knowledge of the retail marketplace, gemology, and appraisal standards and definitions of the major appraisal societies and associations. http://www.swcp.com/phillips/jvc-l1.htm
Extractions: In this lesson, we will examine the recent emergence and growth of the gemstone and jewelry appraisal profession and its origins both inside and outside of the jewelry industry. While professional appraisal training is far beyond the scope of this seminar, it is important for the student to realize that a true appraisal profession is now emerging. It is helpful to realize that there three basic, opposing conceptions of what constitutes a qualified "appraiser" of gems and jewelry. These basic conceptions are an important key to understanding the appraisal problems in the jewelry industry today. We will also discuss the three types of property and the difference between "price," "cost" and "value" as appraisal and "insurance documentation" terms - and tell you why this seminar only addresses the preparation of insurance documentation. Three Ways to Define "Appraiser" The "Retailer=Appraiser" Definition Many have argued that the only one who really knows an item's true value is the habitual buyer and seller of that particular type of item. To some extent, that is true. There are few better connoisseurs than the merchants who stake their livelihood on their ability to discern the relative quality and value of a particular type of merchandise.

Extractions: Tools for Working Jade ... Huntington Archive Homepage INTRODUCTION TO EXHIBITION Over the ages, the Chinese built a remarkably ordered and coherent society that spread across an immense and varied landscape, a society for which the past of more than six millennia remains an ever-present vital part of its modern identity. As observed by Jessica Rawson in the introduction to The British Museum Book of Chinese Art, few societies before modern times have matched the extraordinary visual and technical virtuosity of the Chinese. Characteristics developed from very early periods in ceramics, jade, bronze, lacquer, silk, calligraphy, and painting fostered the development of a cultural and social identity. Distinctive features found in both the functional and decorative arts seem to be essential elements in the order and coherence of society so much valued by the Chinese. In many ways, the history of jade reflects the evolution of Chinese culture, encompassing its long and eventful history, its shifting geographical boundaries, and the many regional sub-cultures and ethnic groups unified as modern China. From the Neolithic period to the present day, jade has been intimately linked to the beginnings of Chinese ritual and civilization. In fact jade is often cited as one of the defining characteristics in the continuity of Chinese culture. In the hierarchy of valuable materials, this remarkable substance has traditionally ranked above gold, silver, and the precious stones admired in Western culture.
