Fine Jewelry Appraisal and Consultation
We understand that your fine jewelry appraisal needs are personal and specific. We provide appraisals for various intended uses and market levels. Only after a consultation do we determine the appropriate document for your needs. Typical appraisals include:
Insurance Appraisals
Keeping a current appraisal on file with your insurance copany offers you confidence that repairs or replacements of your beloved pieces will be covered in the case of loss or damage. Most insurance companies require these be filed by a reputable and experienced source every five years, and for claims on items with a replacement value exceeding a predefined sum. Your insurance company can confirm their specific requirements.
Estate Division or Settlement
Where a replacement appraisal is best for incidents of loss or damage, a fair market value appraisal is generally for legal purposes or to provide peace of mind when assets are being split between parties.
Consultation to sell an item
Consultation to sell an item is different than an appraisal. We provide a free consultation to determine the appropriate avenue to sell your piece, be it through direct purchase at our shop or at auction, depending on the specifics of the piece and your preferred timeline.
Our full lab is portable and we can travel for a consultation at your bank or house. Additional fees apply.
