Jewelry Appraisals
You’ve found the perfect ring. You’ve bought your significant other the jewelry of your dreams. Or you’ve just inherited a special family heirloom. The next step isn’t as glamorous as giving or receiving a special gift, but it’s crucial for your piece of mind for years to come: the appraisal.
Frequently asked questions about appraisals
What is a Jewelry Appraisal?
A formal document describing your jewelry (usually with accompanying photographs) that contains an opinion on the quality and value of your jewelry.

Yes! Many insurance companies require current appraisals to have jewelry independently scheduled on insurance polices. Having an updated appraisal can assist customers with settling insurance claims when their jewelry is lost, damaged or stolen.
What is the best way to get jewelry appraised?
We recommend updating your jewelry appraisals every three to five years. The best way to get jewelry appraised is to stop in and let our experienced appraisers help!
Does my jewelry leave the store?
No. Your jewelry stays in our hands until the appraisal is complete.
How long does a jewelry appraisal take?
Appraisals typically take about 10 days to complete, sometimes more during the holidays.
What should I bring with me to my initial appointment?
Please bring the jewelry, receipts, prior appraisals and any laboratory reports, all of which will be helpful in preparing your appraisal.
