Instappraise has joined the Canadian Jewellery Association (CJA) Member Benefits Program. This collaboration is poised to significantly benefit CJA members, offering substantial discounts on Instappraise’s services and aligning with broader industry efforts to enhance appraisal standards and accessibility of advanced tools for jewellery professionals across Canada.
Instappraise: Innovating Jewellery Appraisal
Instappraise brings to the market a cloud-based solution designed to meet the comprehensive needs of jewellery appraisers. The platform enables the creation of professional, court-ready appraisal documents efficiently and user-friendly. Its mission extends beyond software development, aiming to bolster the jewellery industry by democratizing access to cutting-edge technology for new entrants.
Membership Benefits Detailed
Under the CJA Member Benefits program, Instappraise unveils an exclusive offer to CJA members: a 20% discount for the first 12 months on Instappraise.com subscriptions, with a 10% discount in subsequent years for active CJA members. Moreover, holders of the newly launched Canadian Accredited Jewellery Appraiser (CAJA) designation will enjoy a complimentary one-year subscription to the platform.
Alanna Campbell, G.G. (GIA) and CJA Membership Coordinator, expressed “We are thrilled to introduce yet another tremendous benefit to CJA members! In 2023, the CJA launched an updated Canadian Accredited Jewellery Appraiser (CAJA) program. Just like our CAJAs, Instappraise understands the importance of providing detailed and accurate jewellery appraisal reports. Instappraise’s cloud-based software allows appraisers to do just that in a user-friendly and customizable environment, all without sacrificing the appraisal report’s style.
I have seen firsthand how dedicated Instappraise is to supporting its user community. Having grown exponentially since its inception in 2019, I am certain CJA members will be amazed by the features of this Canadian owned and developed software including the integration with reports from eight major laboratories and more.
I encourage all CJA members to take advantage of this new member benefit! “
Raphael Boivin, Founder & CEO of Instappraise underscores:
“Being a Canada-based company, joining the CJA is something we had on our roadmap since our inception. Now that our platform is more refined and mature, we believe the timing is right for us to join this reputed and trusted association and be more involved in the Canadian jewellery industry.
Joining the CJA Member Benefits program is more than just about supporting the Canadian jewellery industry. It’s about supporting Canadian entrepreneurship and encouraging the current and next generations of jewellers and appraisers by making the right tools and technologies more accessible to them and their business.
We look forward to many years of strong relationship and mutually beneficial cooperation with the CJA and its members.”
Enhancing Appraisal Skills through Strategic Partnerships
Instappraise has established collaborations with prominent educational bodies and appraisal education leaders, including George Brown College, the International School of Gemology (ISG), and the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers (NAJA).

The platform offers a seamless integration with databases from globally recognized diamond grading laboratories, such as GIA, IGI, HRD Antwerp, and GCAL, among others. Instappraise’s suite of features enhances productivity and professionalism for jewellers and appraisers. The software includes access to integrated laboratory reports, pricing data, jewellery quotes, intake forms, and both paper and digital appraisal documents, alongside a customized client portal. This comprehensive range of tools explains the growing preference for Instappraise among jewellery professionals seeking to modernize their appraisal services and align with global best practices.
