Insurance Appraisals

An insurance appraisal is one that provides a replacement value for your jewelry in the event that it is lost or stolen. 

Make an appointment with one of our certified appraiser experts to have your jewelry inspected.  Bring along any documentation you have, such as receipts and diamond or gemstone grading reports.  Depending on the number of items and intricacy of the pieces, we will determine how long we need to complete the appraisal.

Some common situations that warrant an appraisal appointment with us include:

  • Recently engaged couples looking to add an engagement ring to an insurance policy
  • Sorting through a box of jewelry and separating the fine jewelry from the costume pieces
  • Needing an update on value for jewelry that is already insured.

Have a single item and don’t want to leave it?  We understand.  Often times we can take down the information on the piece while you wait and send you the completed appraisal in the mail and/or via email in PDF form.  We just need to see it to determine the possibility of this. 

Our insurance appraisal documents include:

  • Current competitive retail prices
  • The metal type(s)
  • Brand names, serial numbers, model numbers (for watches), and any important hallmarking
  • For diamonds and gemstones, the 4Cs (cut, color, clarity and carat weight)
  • Any relevant information included on documentation, such as a GIA diamond report number.

At the end of the appraisal process, you will receive a professionally written, printed and/or emailed document from us.
