What is a Jewelry Appraisal?

An appraisal is a physical document that describes and assesses the quality, characteristics, and value of a piece of jewelry. It includes both visible and measurable aspects, as well as subjective features that contribute to the item's overall worth.

Why Get an Appraisal?

Insurance Protection: Most appraisals are done for insurance replacement purposes. An official appraisal can help ensure you receive reimbursement through your insurance company in case of loss or damage, depending on your policy's terms.

Establish Fair Market Value: An appraisal can also determine fair market value, which reflects the item's worth in its current condition if you were to sell it. This value is typically lower than retail replacement costs, as it considers the item's used state.

Inherited Jewelry: If you've inherited jewelry or watches, getting them appraised and insured should be a priority. An appraisal provides valuable information for your records and helps you understand the quality and condition of your inherited items.

Selling or Trading: Appraisals are essential when planning to sell, consign, or trade jewelry. They also play a key role in settling estates or distributing property during a divorce.
