Welcome to Texas Gem Appraisers!
Texas Gem Appraisers is a Waco based business and can travel throughout central Texas. Jewelry appraisals, insurance replacement appraisals, and diamond appraisals all done at our secure offices in Waco, Texas.
Betsy Latham, Principal, is a Graduate Gemologist (GIA) and is available to do onsite jewelry appraisals in Waco, Texas to determine an item’s value for insurance replacements, estate evaluations, verification appraisals, and many other types of evaluations and consultations.

Why a Graduate Gemologist?
The state of Texas does not regulate who or what qualifications you must have to do jewelry appraisals. It is to your benefit to have a trained and qualified appraiser to protect your best interests.
A Graduate Gemologist is the gem and jewelry industry’s most prestigious and coveted professional credential. This equips us to identify hundreds of common and unusual gemstones and detect the latest treatments and synthetics.
Security and Peace of Mind
We understand customers concerns of not wanting to leave their items for days or even weeks to have an appraisal done, which is why Texas Gem Appraisers offers on site appraisals at our office in Waco, Texas. Our office is located inside of a Bank building to offer an additional sense of security. Your items never have to be out of your sight.
