"It’s great to mix business with learning, meeting people, and the pleasure of serving individuals on matters of their jewelry” -- C. W.
Craig decided to concentrate on his appraisal business because he loves the work: this prompts him to grow in the field for which he is best suited and allows him to meet people, while enjoying the challenges of the appraisal field.
Craig is a senior member of the Accredited Gemologist Association and his lab is accredited with the A.G.A. He is a member of the Intersociety Color Council. For the last decade, Finis Gemological Inc. has worked with Fred Meyer Jewelers providing their appraisal services for clients in the Puget Sound area and Alaskan stores.

Craig earned his Graduate Gemologist (G.G.) degree from the Gemological institute of America in 1987. He completed the International Society of Appraisal core course training in 1995. He lives in Seattle Washington.

Please note that we appraise jewelry - we do not sell or buy it.
