Appraisal Services
We do not prepare in-house appraisal services. However, we have partners who can assist in the type of appraisal you may need: 

Insurance Appraisal

For protection, not speculation. Purpose: To determine the cost to replace a lost, stolen, or damaged piece. Value: Reflects the retail replacement cost—often the highest valuation. When Needed: To secure adequate coverage under a homeowner’s or jewelry-specific insurance policy. This appraisal ensures peace of mind. Should the unexpected occur, you’ll be covered for the full replacement value of your piece.

​

Fair Market Value Appraisal (Resale Appraisal)

For those considering transition. Purpose: To estimate what your jewelry would sell for on the open market. Value: Based on current trends and comparable pieces available for purchase.

When Needed: For private sales, charitable donations, or equitable asset division. This appraisal reflects what a willing buyer might pay a willing seller—no pressure, just perspective.

 

Estate Appraisal

For legacy, clarity, and fairness. Purpose: To establish value for estate planning or inheritance. Value: May reflect fair market value or a specific date-of-death valuation. When Needed: For probate, inheritance distribution, or tax documentation. This appraisal honors the past while preparing for the future—ensuring transparency and fairness across generations.

 

Liquidation Appraisal

For immediacy and resolution. Purpose: To determine the value for a quick, uncomplicated sale. Value: Typically lower than market value, reflecting cash-in-hand pricing. When Needed: During financial hardship, divorce, or bankruptcy. This appraisal is pragmatic—designed for speed, not sentiment. Each appraisal serves a distinct purpose. If you're unsure which is right for your situation, we’re here to guide you toward the appropriate professional. Quietly, confidently, and always with your best interest in mind.
