Why Appraise
Report
Knowing what your valuables are worth is always a sensible thing to do, being it your jewelry, watches or sterling silver. This is why it's important to keep your appraisals up to date, especially given the continuing rise in the gold and gemstone markets.
Independent appraisers are not in the business of buying or selling jewelry so they are likely to be unbiased-and this can also mean they are less likely to overvalue your jewelry as a way to please you as a customer.For the most part, insurance companies prefer that your jewelry appraisals be done by an independent appraiser, as opposed, for example, to someone employed by a jewelry store.

Insurance Replacement Appraisal
Report
The most important reason for having an appraisal done is for jewelry insurance replacement value in case of loss. An appraisal provides you with protection for proper reimbursement. If you lose your jewelry, you have a document describing your item in exact and extensive detail- stone measurements, clarity, and color - quality and value of the item.
Personal Jewelry Catalog
Report
There are times when you want a record of your jewelry items or personal jewelry catalog. You may not need the full detail that an appraisal will give, but you want a document with digital pictures of your items, their condition, and value. A document will need to be created that shows, on a current day, these items where seen and recorded.
Selling Gold & Diamond Jewelry
Report
Occasionally many of us acquire fine jewelry that no longer is of use to us. It may be jewelry inherited from a grandmother, a great aunt, a past relationship or similar type circumstance. On such occasions, I can guide you through this process and give you a means of selling your jewelry in complete confidentiality.
