Awsome Service
We purchased a set of Crown Of Light Diamond earrings for my wife for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. Our Insurance company wanted a certified appraisal. Since the earrings were Crown of Light very few appraisers all across the U.S. are certified to complete the appraisals. We were pleased to find Juanita in Lake Mary Florida where we were visiting our daughter. We called and they were very accomidating to get us an appointment while we were in Florida. Very friendly prompt service while we waited. Would definitely do business with ADDEO Appraisals again. Thank you!

Rare Patek
Because of the value of this watch, my insurance company gave me a hard time regarding my first appraisal. They wanted an appraisal from someone much more ‘credentialed’. Tiring of the process, I wanted to cut to the chase and found Juanita/George at ADDEO. They have more certifications than the FDA. And they were pleasant, timely and through. I'll give my insurance company an opportunity to quote but will certainly checkout Jewelers Mutual per ADDEO's suggestion.

Highly Accredited Appraiser
Juanita has been our appraiser for decades now. As I recently reviewed my purchases, mostly diamonds, I was impressed at how my jewelry has increased in value. More importantly, I still love every piece. Under Juanita's expertise, the gem selection and setting recommendations have definitely stood the test of time. Both of my children are now clients. Juanita's dedication to her continuing professional education is a strong qualification that few jewelers in this country possess.

Knowledgeable & Trustworthy
For insurance purposes, we sought out Juanita's expertise for appraisal of some diamond stud earrings. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable, answering any questions we had along the way. Her appraisal report is thorough and well-organized. Not only is Juanita extremely knowledgeable but she is passionate about her job and her business. She is proud of her talent as an accomplished gemologist. We were so happy to find her and will definitely use her again in the future!

Two Time the Winner
Two times the winner - After my husband bought me a ring for our 50th anniversary we wanted to have it insured and appraised. Ee looked online for an appraiser who is well-versed and qualified expert in the jewelry arena and we found Juanita Addeo. The first ring we initially purchased was beautiful but was not the quality that we had wanted or thought we had purchased... so we returned it and came back with a second ring. Again the appraisal was done and met our expectations of quality. The real jewel in this is Juanita herself - she is very courteous, professional and meticulous in her appraisal methods. Juanita explained to us very thoroughly the appraisal report when completed and has gone well beyond our expectations. We will return again.
Expertise / Items Valued: Wedding anniversary ring.

Incredible Experience!
I was already working with another jeweler and then was recommended to Juanita. I ended up switching to her as the quality of diamonds she offered was incredible versus what I already had in my possession. She was excellent to work with and was able to find me a great diamond for the upcoming engagement. I highly recommend her as she has all the documentation to back up each item. You will not be disappointed!

I had my Crown of Light diamond appraised. Juanita was thorough and informative. She explained everything that she was doing and described what she was looking at.

What a Great Experience
We have known Juanita for many years. Recently, Juanita went above and beyond to assist us with a local state jewelry auction that went awry. Juanita’s experience and passion put us on track for a resolution. I want to thank Juanita for such personal and professional service; we couldn’t have done it without her.

Addeo Appraisals Gets An A+
My husband had purchased a rather expensive diamond for me and we wanted a private appraisal. We were referred to Addeo Appraisals and could not have been more pleased. Juanita was wonderful. My family had worked with only one jeweler until his retirement. His qualifications were impeccable and I always feared I could not find someone like him. I was pleasantly surprised to find Juanita was the answer to my search! Her qualifications and her professionalism were beyond reproach. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an honest and professional appraisal.

Professional and Knowledgable
I met with Juanita for a consultation on a ring I was going to purchase. When I Googled Master Gemologist Orlando, her name came up as an accredited appraiser/gemologist. She has achieved the highest level in Gemology and with over 3 generations of experience she was very patient and clear with the information she imparted. I felt very comfortable with her assessments and comments. If you have any questions about a diamond purchase and want a real assessment − Juanita Addeo is definately a great resource in Central Florida! I would highly recommend and go back to her for any future needs.
