You’ll meet with a certified appraiser to discuss the purpose of the appraisal (e.g., insurance and estate).

You may be asked to provide documentation like receipts, certificates, or previous appraisals.

The appraiser examines the jewelry’s overall condition, design, and craftsmanship.

They look for hallmarks, maker’s marks, and any signs of damage or repair.

Using tools like loupes, microscopes, and scales, the appraiser evaluates:

• Gemstones: Cut, color, clarity, carat weight.

• Metals: Type (gold, platinum, silver), purity (e.g., 14k, 18k), and weight.

The appraiser compares your item to similar pieces in the current market.

They consider brand reputation, rarity, and recent sale data to determine value.

A detailed written report is created, including:

• Description of the item.

• Photos (if applicable).

• Appraised value based on the intended use (insurance, resale, etc.).

Our reports are USPAP Complient.

You’ll receive the appraisal document, which can be used for insurance, estate planning, or resale.

The appraiser may explain the findings and answer any questions you have.
