CIA™ Appraisal Software
Software Overview
JCRS currently has CIA™ appraisal software (written in Delphi) correlated to the standardized ACORD/JISO appraisal forms 78 and 79. For each type of jewelry, the program prompts the user, guiding them through the appraisal for all the necessary descriptive details as incorporated in the CIA™ standard. Digital imaging is incorporated with appraisal details. The information, including digital image(s), is then printed on the ACORD/JISO form.
Details
CIA Appraisal Expert™ is a powerful, easy to use appraisal solution for the jewelry and insurance industries. With the CIA Appraisal Expert™ you can generate accurate, thorough, professional looking appraisals in a matter of minutes.
Jewelry appraisals are plagued by several problems:
- Critical information is frequently missing from the appraisal.
- Information that is provided can be inaccurate or misleading.
- Appraisals suffer from "prescription syndrome." They are often hand written or poorly typed, sloppy and difficult to read.
CIA
Appraisal Expert™ addresses all three of these issues. All the details
required to describe a particular type of jewelry are presented in a series
of easy to read screens. You’ll be less likely to overlook the girdle thickness
or culet size when the choices are right in front of you. Plus, omissions
will appear as obvious gaps on the standardized ACORD/JISO forms. (Click

CIA Appraisal Expert™ prints on industry standard JISO/ACORD appraisal forms. Virtually all insurance companies accept these forms, and the trend is toward regarding standard JISO/ACORD forms as the only valid forms for insurance appraisals. Consistent format and uniform presentation make these appraisals easy for the consumer to read and interpret. JISO provides the forms free of charge to jewelers.
For each descriptive item, CIA Appraisal Expert™ presents a list of valid choices. Selecting from a list is both quick (see how long it takes you to type "Hue: Very Slightly Yellowish Green") and accurate. CIA Appraisal Expert™ supports items with special descriptive requirements such as pearls, jadeite, alexandrite, opals and watches. If it's been a long time since you've seen Akoya pearls and you don’t remember how to spell it, you won’t have to dig out the manuals. It’s there at your fingertips.
