About Jacob
Jacob Szajowitz, GIA G.D., A.J.P.
Member, National Association of Jewelry Appraisers
Before starting Aladdin Gems, LLC in early 2013, Jacob spent two years as a Store Manager for a local jeweler in Reisterstown, MD. The store focus was buying Gold, Silver and Diamond jewelry.
Realizing a need to expand his diamond and jewelry knowledge, Jacob began the intensive educational process to become a Diamond Grader, Pearl Grader, and an Accredited Jewelry Professional with diplomas in those fields from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
Over the past decade, he has developed strong business associations in the renowned New York City Diamond District where he would frequently work in selling and purchasing as well as creating custom jewelry pieces. He brings over 30 years of client relationship building including sales and marketing experience.
In addition, Jacob became certified as a Jewelry Appraiser by the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers (NAJA) to assist his clients in getting the correct insurance coverage for their precious valuables. He also works with Estate, Divorce and Bankruptcy attorneys to ensure their clients receive the best possible valuations of all their jewelry and valuables.
About Us
Aladdin Gems’ focus is on the MOBILE side of their business. By not having a brick and mortar establishment, we have the freedom to make “house calls”. The advantage of being able to have valuables appraised in the comfort and security of your own home is immeasurable. As well, when it comes to choosing a beautiful engagement ring or other piece of jewelry, not having to feel the pressure of salespeople pushing you towards certain items in their display case or having somebody looking over your shoulder is a level of comfort that is unparalleled.
Testimonials
“It was such a fun experience working with Jacob on my ring. He really took the time to explain to me and my fiancé about diamonds, which diamond shape would look good with the ring that I had in mind. When it came to picking out a watch and a wedding band for my fiancé, he was so helpful in providing us with different options based on what features my husband-to-be wanted in his jewelry. I would strongly recommend working with Jacob because of his attention to detail and ensuring you are getting the piece that you envisioned.”
