Michael Nedler is a Graduate Gemologist who has been in the jewelry business in Denver since 1976.  He and his father, Sonny Nedler, owned Sonny’s Diamonds & Jewelry in Cherry Creek.  Sonny’s was well known for their exciting jewelry fashion designers, collectable high-end watches, and exquisite bridal jewelry. He founded Colorado Gem Labs in 2014.

As a Gemologist and independent jewelry appraiser, Michael has decades of experience doing thousands of appraisals for insurance and estate purposes.  Since his detailed jewelry appraisals are accepted and respected by so many insurance companies, he’s often contacted to do insurance replacement by these companies.

Another strong area of his expertise is estate buying.  This is a specialty area that very few jewelers are competent in.  Sonny’s was a well know store in which customers brought their old jewelry in to sell.  Michael has developed a large following who trust him to dispose of their jewelry at the highest prices.
