INSURANCE APPRAISALs
Protect What Matters With the Right Documentation.
A jewelry insurance appraisal provides the detailed documentation needed to help properly insure your jewelry, diamonds, gemstones, and watches.
Our appraisers independently examine each piece, document its characteristics, and determine an appropriate replacement value based on current market conditions.
Independent. Precise. Confidential.
WHY AN INSURANCE APPRAISAL MATTERS
Your Coverage Is Only as Good as Your Documentation.
Jewelry values change over time. Precious-metal prices, diamond markets, gemstones, designer jewelry, and luxury watches can all move significantly in value.
An outdated or incomplete appraisal may leave you underinsured, or paying premiums based on an inaccurate value.
A professional insurance appraisal gives your insurer detailed information about what you own and establishes a current replacement value should the piece ever be lost, stolen, or damaged.
