Appraisals

Insurance Replacement Jewelry Appraisals (While you wait)

$125 per piece (5+ pieces 10% discount) 

Jewelry appraisals safeguard the full value of your fine jewelry in the event of loss, damage, theft, or misplacement. For proper coverage, many insurance companies require a written appraisal by an independent, certified gemologist and appraiser. 

Unlike an estate appraisal or Fair Market Value appraisal, insurance appraisals are for the sole purpose of obtaining insurance to recover the value of lost, damaged or stolen items.

We evaluate and document an item’s weight, materials, and unique qualities that determine the realistic cost of replacing an item. Because metal and gemstone prices fluctuate over time, it’s important to have up to date jewelry appraisal reports to maintain accurate insurance coverage for reimbursement or to replace lost, stolen or damaged items. 

 

 Gemstone Identification

$45 per gemstone

Sometimes you inherit or find yourself with a piece of jewelry and while you don't need a full insurance appraisal, you would still like to know what it is. I can identify your gemstone or grade your diamond in-office while you wait. For this type of service, only a grade or identification is made. No money value is provided.

Please call to schedule an appointment for your appraisal.
