Jewelry Appraisals

Initial Consultation and Assessment

Our jewelry appraisal process begins with an initial consultation between the appraiser and the client to gather information about the purpose of the appraisal, the type of jewelry being appraised, and any specific concerns or requirements the client may have.

Examination and Documentation

The appraiser carefully examines and inspects the jewelry piece. Your item is assessed based on overall condition, including wear and tear, damage, or repairs. They also examine the gemstones, such as diamonds or colored gemstones, to evaluate their quality, color, clarity, and cut.

Research and Market Analysis

The appraiser conducts research to gather relevant information about the jewelry, such as its historical background, designer or manufacturer, and market trends. They may consult industry databases, auction records, and reference materials to gather data and support their valuation. This research helps provide context and accuracy to the appraisal, especially for antique jewelry appraisals.

Professional Appraisal Report

The appraiser prepares a detailed appraisal report which includes:

• Description of the jewelry piece, including details about the gemstones, metal composition, measurements, and any distinguishing features. 
• High-quality photographs of the jewelry. 
• The appraised value of the jewelry including the quality and characteristics of the gemstones, the craftsmanship, materials, the age and rarity of the piece, and the current market demand.

Confidentiality and Security

Our professional appraisers demonstrate professionalism, protect client interests, and maintain the integrity of the appraisal process. We handle your personal information and valuable assets with the utmost care and discretion.
