Geolat & Associates Company Information
Independent appraiser Patti Geolat has turned a love of jewelry and a desire for education into a successful jewelry industry career. For the past 18 years, Geolat has run her own jewelry appraisal business. Before that, she worked for nine years for her Graduate Gemologist (G.G.) diploma from the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, California.
"When I formed and incorporated my appraisal business in 1984, I was new to Texas and did not have an established practice, so I felt that in order to be credible as an independent appraiser I had to be well-educated.", says owner Patti Geolat.
In four short years, Geolat received her fellow of the Gemological Association (FGA) diploma from the Gemological Association of Great Britain, her Certified Appraiser of Personal Property (CAPP) designation from the International Society of Appraisers, and Member status with the American Society of Appraisers (ASA) from the Insurance Institute of America.
"I marketed my business to retail stores, insurance agents, banks and lawyers," Geolat recounts. "My firm weathered a tough start-up during challenging economic times, but the years of hard work and perseverance have paid off."
Today, Geolat is happier than ever with her jewelry industry career.
