Learn about Jewelry Appraisals

Buying and wearing a fabulous new watch or piece of jewelry is great fun, but there's some business involved, too. It's very important to have a complete, certified appraisal with your piece to help with insurance and to help you remember the jewelry you own. No one ever wants to think about losing a treasured item, but in a difficult situation, an updated appraisal can be a lifesaver. And for new purchases, a receipt may not be enough - you want to make sure you get the full replacement value of your piece, not just the special sale price you were lucky enough to get. An official appraisal will contain detailed information about the type, quality and replacement value of the specific components of your jewelry. Our staff of certified appraisers will complete the appraisal for you in-house. You can rest assured that your jewelry will stay here in the store, safe and secure. Also, it is important to remember that your insurance appraisals should be updated every five years. With the changes in value in precious metals, the fluctuations in market demand for certain gemstones and regular wear and tear, the value of your pieces can change dramatically over the course of your ownership.
