A jewelry appraisal is a document that shows the approximate retail value of an item. The main advantage of an appraisal is ensuring that you receive a suitable price when insuring or selling your item(s). We provide free appraisals on all our purchases.
Information included
Our appraisal includes information about the quality, quantity, and characteristics of gemstones. In addition to the gemstone’s qualities, an appraisal also includes the craftsmanship, condition, and weight of the entire piece.
After the assessment, you will receive a thorough description, a photo or photos of your object, and an estimated retail value.
Why do I need an appraisal?
Well, while our lifetime warranty covers any issues due to manufacturing, having insurance can protect you further. An appraisal ensures that if anything happens, your insurer will replace your item with something of equal value or give you cash for it. Without an appraisal, you might not get fair compensation for your item if you need to make a claim.
In case there is a loss, theft, or damage, having a detailed appraisal ensures that you can protect your ownership and receive the appropriate compensation. The more information included in your appraisal, the likelier you are to get a fair value of your item.
*We recommend having the entire purchase appraised rather than only the center gemstone unless the metal part of your jewelry piece holds no significant worth.
