There are several types of jewelry appraisal services. The work involved is the same but the value placed on an item can be vastly different. Also, keep in mind that while an item may have sentimental value, an appraisal can only determine the intrinsic value of an item.

The Appraisal services that we offer:
The Insurance Replacement Appraisal
The Fair Market Value Appraisal
The Estate Appraisal

​The Insurance Replacement Appraisal is used to have an item added as a rider onto your homeowners or renters policy. This insurance covers loss, theft, or damage. The determined value on this appraisal states what it would cost to replace an item with a brand new piece of similar quality. 

The Fair Market Value Appraisal is used to determine a fair selling price for an item between a willing seller and a willing buyer. It takes into account the current condition of the item and any repair work that the item may need.
​
The Estate Appraisal is used when determining a value for the settlement of an estate. This appraisal bases the value on the item’s current condition in a forced sale. That is, a sale in which we have an unwilling seller and an unwilling buyer. This appraisal will place the lowest value on an item.
​
We perform appraisals on premises. Typically, items must be left for inspection. Please, give us a call to set up an appointment.
