Gemstone and diamond appraisals are a form of protection. Many insurance companies require an appraisal to cover fine jewelry. It’s a good idea to have jewelry appraised by a top jeweler every three to five years.

You may think that an appraisal is a one-time deal. However, the price of precious metals, like gold and platinum, are always changing. If your jewelry was appraised five years ago, it might be worth more today simply because the prices of those metals have gone up!

Is it time to determine the value of a treasured keepsake or reassess jewelry you’ve had for years?

A Certified Jewelry Appraiser can give you a fair and accurate appraisal for:

• Insurance to cover loss, damage or theft.
• Estate tax evaluation.
• Value comparison.
• Dissolution of marriage (divorce).
• Collateral.
• Liquidation.
