NAJA

National Association of Jewelry Appraisers (NAJA) was founded in 1981 on the premise that the specialized field of gem and jewelry appraising was an area that was long overdue for representation on a professional basis. Also, there was a need for an appraisal organization specializing in only gems and jewelry, one which would not be subject to the confusion of diverse appraisal disciplines such as real estate, machinery & equipment, art, household contents, etc. The NAJA was formed as a response to this need. The Association’s primary purpose is to recognize, and make available, the services of highly qualified, informed, experienced, independent, and professional appraisers of gems and jewelry to those members of the public requiring such expertise. In addition, NAJA seeks to promote the trademark and professional designations earned by our members and to make available continuing educational materials in order to ensure that they are among the best informed appraisers in our industry. Finally, it is our goal to promote professionalism among our members as well as the industry as a whole. All of the above should provide reasonable assurance to the public of the professional skill, integrity, and responsibility of our members. The National Association of Jewelry Appraisers is the only appraisal association in the United States that devotes itself solely to the appraisal of gems and jewelry and silver flatware and holloware. All of our literature, training course, newsletter, etc. focus on these, and only these, subjects which are updated with new information as it becomes available.

Jason’s Works

Around 2009, I became fascinated with coin rings, but I wasn’t able to find much information about how to make these beautiful pieces of art. After some trial and error, a little research and development, and a bit of brainstorming with other enthusiasts, I carefully created an efficient process that consistently generates the highest quality ring. A detailed, step-by-step guide detailing this process is available in my manual alongside my custom-designed tools specific to the exciting art of coin ring making.

I can tell you confidently I am proud to provide the best products and resources available, from custom rings to tools and training. I believe in “quality not quantity” and “you get what you pay for.” All of my tools are made from top grade materials and precision machined by true masters of their trade. All tools and rings are 100% guaranteed.

This is where Proto Products comes into the picture. Proto Products sells and services equipment, then trains and helps companies to be successful in 3D printing, molding, and direct casting items, and we specialize in the jewelry industry. Proto Products chose to exclusively sell and service the Asiga line of 3D printers because our 40+ years in the industry and experience with many other machines indicated it was the best all-around choice.
