Jewelry Appraisals

Learn about Jewelry Appraisals

At Marks of Design we are uniquely qualified to appraise your collection of fine jewelry and gemstones. With the expertise of our in-house GIA-certified gemologist, we provide our customers with the most thorough and up-to-date appraisals for insurance, estate jewelry, inheritance, or just plain curiosity. 

While these items are priceless to you, it's important to remember that the value of the precious metal and gems that comprise your fine jewelry is constantly changing due to market conditions. Our value estimation will provide you with your jewelry’s current retail replacement value, or how much it would cost to recreate it at the time of our appraisal.  

Accuracy in an appraisal is important because if your jewelry is ever lost, stolen, or damaged, your insurance company will refer to your most recent appraisal document to settle your claim. An outdated appraisal will likely result in you being under-insured, and that could potentially cost you thousands. 

We recommend updating your jewelry appraisals every three-to-five years. Whether it's the engagement ring you wear every day or a piece you've just inherited from your grandmother's estate, we're ready to offer an appraisal for your security and peace of mind.
