Written Appraisal

This is a written jewelry evaluation conducted by a Gemologist from the Royal Gemological Society (FGA) in an offline store.This may be required by your insurance company, or simply to satisfy your own curiosity. It represents the current market value / cost to replace your jewelry. The appraisal process itself is completed at an hourly rate in-house. Your jewelry never has to leave the facility.

Your consultant will sit with you at an hourly rate and identify each piece of jewelry with you. This walk-in service is typically available Monday through Wednesday for up to one hour. Please call in advance to check these services are available for the week of your visit.

Issue Certificate

We can issue relevant certificates through our offline stores and local laboratories or other designated laboratories. Of course, the cost of issuing certificates requires prior consultation.

WHY APPRAISE YOUR JEWELRY?

In other cases you may need more than a casual over the counter jewelry appraisal. A casual estimate will not provide you with the valid jewelry appraisal documents needed for insurance. If you have valuable jewelry, you will want to protect it. The most common way to do this is to insure it. Many homeowners’ policies have a provision to cover a portion of your jewelry. In order to attain full coverage it will most likely be necessary to add a rider to the homeowners or renters policy. Some people choose to insure jewelry separately through companies that specialize in jewelry insurance. In either event, most insurance companies require that a reputable appraiser provide a detailed, itemized appraisal of the jewelry to be insured.
