Appraisals

We offer insurance appraisal services on a “while you wait” basis. I examine your jewelry and take the necessary measurements and notes in your presence. These are refined and typed on the appraisal form and mailed to you in a few days. You do not need to leave your jewelry with us. I have been certified with the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) for over 20 years.

Please call first for appraisal appointments for best results. Appraisal of several items can take some time-allow at least an hour or more for four or five items. Call us for appraisal price quotes. Minimum charge of an appraisal is $30, $10 for updates of previous appraisals.

The rise of world gold prices from $300-400 per ounce in 2004 to the current $1000-1200 range means that insurance replacement values on carat gold jewelry-chains, bracelets, wedding bands-has effectively tripled. Old appraisals on such items are frequently inadequate for insurance replacement. Values of ring mountings also usually need to be adjusted, though diamond and stone prices have remained fairly steady. Call us with your concerns (or those of your insurance carrier) and we will be glad to assist you.
