Visited David today at his new location on Garvey Ave. for an appraisal of a Jadeite pendant. Had a great experience. David is an expert in his field and was very thorough in the examination of my piece. He is easy to talk to and will work with your schedule. Parking is also easy to find due to being directly located in a large shopping plaza. I highly recommend coming here for your jewelry appraisals.

David at Ha Dynasty is very easy to work with, and made certain that through different tests, that our jade was authentic and gave us written appraisals on each. Very easy. We will return someday. Craig Ans Sue

I went to have two jade bangles verbally appraised. The owner was incredibly nice and friendly, had an immense knowledge of jade, and had very reasonable prices for both appraisals and jewelry. He tested my jadeite bangles with conductive and optical equipment. I ended up buying a two-tone pixiu jadeite ring (grade A), and love it! Looking forward to my next visit.

This amazing experience all started with a call to David. He was so kind and polite on the phone in setting up an appointment and giving us directions to his kiosk. We arrived almost and hour early and were still immediately helped by him. The process itself was thorough and professional. We were having a wedding ring appraised for insurance purposes. He specially asked to keep all available information hidden until he was done to prove his accuracy, which was spot on. I truly wish I had a regular need for jewelry appraisal, as this experience was truly enjoyable. Don’t go to any establishment charging $100+ for one item when David will take care of you for a bargain.

Top notch appraiser! Not only does David posses a wealth of knowledge concerning jade, he also does his appraisals for a fair price. I called around to several auction houses and insurance specialists to see if they could appraise my jade collection. Many offered to do so for rates in the hundreds per item, and they had rigid appointments. David offered to appraise whenever worked best with my schedule AND he did all my pieces for the same price the others were charging for one item! I was in over my head, but David was able to give me detailed information and a price range of what he believed each piece would bring. As I had so many pieces, he even came down to my car to appraise. Overall, I was amazed by the customer service and knowledge David presented. If you want to know exactly what you have and what it's worth, I highly recommend going to David.

My wife and I visited David Ha today (12/4/18) to have him appraise carved jade jewelry inherited from my father. Our experience with David was outstanding, from the conversations on the phone to arrange the appointment, to our face-to-face meeting with him at his place of business. He was helpful, friendly, courteous, professional and kind. His fee was very reasonable, and his assessments of our pieces were thorough, complete and honest. We recommend David Ha without reservation, and we intend to do more business with him whenever the need arises.
