Welcome to The Jewellery Appraisers Society of New Zealand Inc.
|
| |
| The Jewellery Appraisers Society of New Zealand Inc. (JASNZ) was Incorporated March 2001. Jewellery Appraisers are an essential part of the Jewellery industry in New Zealand. These skilled people are responsible for appraising an item or items of jewellery in order to place a value on those particular items. |
|
| A number of JASNZ members are also members of the Jewellers & Watchmakers of New Zealand Inc. (JWNZ) The JASNZ promotes appraisal training as well as additional technical training. This enhances and maintains the skills required by its members. |

|
| Today the fair Trading Act and associated Consumer Guarantees Legislation is now in place and both are being vigorously pursued and enforced. The JASNZ must not only be seen as being vigilant, but must be acting upon the maintenance of integrity, standards, and education of the JASNZ appraisers. To do otherwise will result in legislators imposing their standards upon us all. This does not need to occur - indeed will not occur if we under-take responsible movement towards introducing our own protocols. |
|
|
| The time has come to implement changes constructively and with due diligence to every ones advantage to assist in the protection and discrimination of appraisals, by those qualified to do so. |
|
|
| Membership shall be open to anyone who has an active interest in the field of appraising jewellery and who agrees to abide by the 'Code of Ethics', 'Rules' and 'Objects' of the JASNZ. |
