Professional services to determine values of jewelry, gold and diamonds
Jewelry Appraisal Services
It’s a good idea to periodically get appraisals for your jewelry. An appraisal provides you with information to protect your financial investment. With an appraisal in hand you can determine if you have adequate insurance coverage. Jewelry appraisals also give you an idea of fair market value if you want to sell antique jewelry or sell estate jewelry.
We can provide written appraisals if you can leave your items for a few days. A certified GIA graduate gemologists will need time to inspect, document and photograph each piece. Jewelry appraisals carefully consider the attributes of diamonds, gemstones and precious metals.
Insurance Replacement Jewelry Appraisals
If you want a jewelry appraisal for insurance purposes, especially for very fine pieces, you may need:
- Auto-cad design documentation for reproduction
- High resolution photography from several angles
- Detailed written descriptions of stones and metals
- Information on diamond clarity, color, cut, carat weight
- Determination og purity of gold, silver, platinum
Valuation of Antique & Estate Jewelry
Antique and estate jewelry appraisals are often challenging. Firstly, these pieces are unique and cannot be perfectly reproduced. Additionally their uniqueness makes their market value very subjective. Antique jewelry often has old mine diamonds and truly hand crafted designs. These pieces are individual works of art and need a trained eye to provide a fair assessment of value. Our jewelry appraisers can discuss with you the many variables that affect the value of your vintage jewelry.
