An official appraisal will detail information about the type, quality and replacement value of individual jewelry items and watches. A professional appraisal is essential for insurance claims when jewelry has been lost, stolen, or damaged. We are happy to provide your insurance company with the qualified documentation. Gemologists are on staff and graduates of the prestigious Gemological Institute of America (G.I.A.). Each Gemologist has been trained in industry standards and knowledge to provide accurate representation of your jewelry items. We invite you to speak to any member of our staff with questions you may have. Your jewelry, brought in for appraisal, is kept securely and does not leave the store. Insurance appraisals should be updated every few years or as required by your insurance company.
