Types of Jewelry Appraisals
Insurance Appraisals
We’ll help establish the replacement value of your jewelry, ensuring it’s fully protected against loss, theft, or damage. Our appraisals include detailed descriptions, photographs, and documentation. Just bring in your jewelry and any insurance guidelines from your provider.
Estate Appraisals
Used for probate, inheritance, or dividing assets, our appraisals give a fair valuation that helps families distribute jewelry or settle an estate fairly. Bring in the items to be appraised and let us know if the appraisal is for probate, estate, division, or another legal purpose.
Fair Market Value Appraisals
We conduct appraisals that reflect what your jewelry would reasonably sell for in today’s open market, making them useful if you’re planning to sell or trade your piece. Bring in your jewelry, and we’ll evaluate its worth with accuracy and transparency.
Personal Use Appraisals
Sometimes you simply want to know what a piece is worth, whether it’s a family heirloom or something you’ve owned for years. Bring in your jewelry, and we’ll examine and evaluate it without all the extra paperwork.
How It Works
Detailed Inspection
Each piece is examined for metal content, gemstone quality, craftsmanship, and overall condition. Hallmarks, karat stamps, and unique designs are part of the record.
Documentation & Research
We photograph and describe your jewelry in detail, then research comparable items and current market trends to determine an appropriate value for the appraisal’s purpose.
Written Valuation
You’ll receive a professional valuation, providing accurate values backed by detailed descriptions and market research to support insurance, estate, or resale purposes.
