6 Reasons You Should Have Your Jewelry Appraised Professionally

Maybe you’ve recently been married and haven’t had a chance to insure your engagement ring?

Or maybe you recently inherited a family heirloom painting or antique silverware?

Here are the top benefits of having your fine items appraised:

1. Protect your investment:

   An appraisal will provide you with a detailed assessment of the value of your jewelry, which can help you protect your investment. If you need to insure your jewelry, an appraisal will be required by your insurance company to determine the appropriate coverage amount.

2. Plan for the future:

   An appraisal can help you plan for the future by providing you with an accurate value of your jewelry, which can help you make informed decisions about what to do with it.

3. Determine the sale value:

   If you are considering selling your jewelry, an appraisal will help you determine the fair market value and ensure that you are not underselling it.

4. Prove authenticity:

   If you have inherited jewelry or purchased a piece that you believe is antique or valuable, an appraisal can help you prove its authenticity and value.

5. Establish ownership:

   If you are in a legal dispute over ownership of a piece of jewelry, an appraisal can be used as evidence in court to establish ownership.

6. Identify and document important details:

   An appraisal will document important details about your jewelry, including the type and quality of the materials used, any unique features or design elements, and any historical significance. This information can be useful for future reference or for selling or insuring the jewelry.
