A
jewelry appraisal can be done on any item of
jewelry. Unmounted gemstones are not a
requirement; in fact the jewelry being appraised
doesn't even have to contain a gemstone.
The
purpose of a jewelry appraisal is to give a full
description of the item being appraised, as well
as a dollar value which is often for insurance
purposes. An appraisal might also be necessary to
settle an estate or a divorce.
Market
values change, so most professionals recommend you
have fine jewelry appraised every two years. Ask
your insurance agent for a recommendation.
Always seek out an appraiser who has the
credentials to do a professional appraisal. Our
appraisals are done by people who are certified in
gemstones and precious metals and have years of
experience in appraising fine jewelry.
