The Master Valuer program in jewelry appraisal studies was the only widely available course of its type when developed and introduced by Anna Miller. Up until its debut, appraisal education was restricted to offerings by private appraisal organizations. Though Anna Miller died early in 2003, her legacy of high-quality education through the Master Valuer program will continue.

The Master Valuer Program is taught in many countries, including Canada, England, Korea, Hong Kong, China and Singapore. It has also been translated into French, Korean and Chinese. In the United States, the Master Valuer Program will now be taught exclusively through the California Institute of Jewelry Training in Sacramento--both in residence and through distance education.

We anticipate Anna Miller's books will continue to remain popular classics with aspiring and experienced jewelry appraisers alike. Anna was a prolific writer. At the time of her death she was writing about one of her favorite subjects-jade. With the assistance of her daughter, Kay, this book will be completed and published in the near future.

We want to keep everyone informed of periodic updates and news concerning the MV program. We invite all Master Valuer graduates to provide us with their current contact information.

The Master Valuer program residence classes and workshops will be conducted at the California Institute of Jewelry Training, University of South Florida and locations in Canada to be announced. International programs are also being offered in Korea, HongKong and China.

Sincerely and with great respect,

 Dee Rouse Huth – Director and founder of the California Institute of Jewelry Training and Mr. Sang Ki Kim, Director and MasterValuer Coordinator of the Korean Jewelry Institute.
