Jewelry appraisals are just one of the many services that we offer at Ware Jewelers. Appraisals give you a better understanding of your jewelry’s monetary value, and they are vital for insurance and financial purposes.
Jewelry appraisals are very important for financial and insurance purposes. Your fine jewelry counts among your financial assets, and it’s important to have a complete and accurate picture of your finances. An updated appraisal provides a precise estimate of your jewelry’s value, which can be important for estate planning, tax purposes, and more.
Understanding your jewelry’s monetary value is also necessary if you want to insure your jewelry. Life is unpredictable, and no matter how well you take care of your jewelry, it could still be lost, damaged or stolen. If this ever happens, your insurer will need to know your jewelry’s value in order to file the claim. If your appraisal is outdated, you run the risk of being underinsured, which may end up costing you a lot of money.
Appraisal documents can also provide important details about your piece(s) in the event that you need a jeweler to recreate them. Jewelers can use the precise measurements, descriptions, and images included in an appraisal to create a highly accurate replica of the piece you lost.
Because the value of precious metals and gemstones is constantly changing, it’s important to update your appraisals occasionally. We recommend getting an updated appraisal every 3-5 years. Otherwise, you risk being underinsured.
With your jewelry appraisal, you will receive documents that give you an accurate and in-depth description of your items, including stone identification, weights and measurements, color and clarity grading, information on the types of precious metals and their values, and photos of the piece(s). Diamond plotting is also available upon request.
Just as you have the proper documentation for your car and your home, having documents that verify the authenticity and value of your jewelry is crucial. Jewelry is an asset, and it’s important to treat it as such.
