Bouchard & Co LLC

My fiance and I were looking for an old European cut diamond for my engagement ring. We had very specific size requirements to fit my setting, and since we were looking for old European cuts instead of modern round brilliants, we were having a hard time finding the right diamond. Lois was able to find us the perfect diamond at a great price (according to my other appraiser, who appraised the ring). Great service and very happy with my diamond!

I had a very good experience with Lois. I knew nothing about diamonds and jewelry and she was kind enough to walk through intricate details and take it down to my ignorant levels. She is very timely when you reach out and will get you appraised promptly. She is competitive on price for her services in the area but a bit high compared to others. Valued her advice and professionalism though.

Lois Bouchard evaluated 35 or so pieces of jewelry to establish estimates of their wholesale values. She prepared a bound report which included the positive and negative characteristics of each piece, a photograph and a very detailed description of the metals and stones in each. Her charges were very reasonable and she warned me on several occasions that a particular item would be difficult to sell. She consulted with other gemologists on several pieces. I couldn't be happier with her work, her credentials, her integrity or our interactions. I plan to ask her to broker several stones for me and I recommend her to anyone who needs advice about a purchase or sale, an appraisal, or an estimated retail/wholesale price.

"Lois, you rock! We are extremely pleased with your ability to coordinate our pursuit of designing and creating the rings we envisioned! You knew the right professionals that could successfully produce exactly what we were after and when we saw what was created, it was spectacular! I was so happy to have my dream ring come to life and the magnificent sparkle and look is so unique for me it is just how I envisioned it to be! Just like a ring for a princess!!!! I am extremely happy , Thank you to all that were involved in the process of having it come true! Thanks a bunch, Lois!"

Lois Bouchard was a pleasure to work with. She is very knowledgeable and professional and helped me sell a very expensive ring. I went to her for an appraisal so that I would know what to ask as a selling price but she went above and beyond to help me find a global dealer and to make sure that I was getting a fair price for the ring. She is extremely skilled and with superb credentials. I was more concerned about being able to trust someone and I now I would highly recommend her to everyone. I wouldn't go to anyone else in the future.
