WHY IS AN APPRAISAL
SO IMPORTANT?
The most important reason to have your jewelry appraised is for insurance purposes. Precious metals, diamonds, and gemstones fluctuate in price over time. Keeping your appraisals up to date will guarantee you are accurately protected when you have a loss. If your jewelry does not have the correct appraisal value, you will not receive the proper reimbursement for your claim. You do not want to be under insured and not be able to replace your treasured item.
