Why Use an Independent Jewelry Appraiser?

• To determine the value of a piece of jewelry such as an engagement ring or estate jewelry
• To estimate the cost of producing, acquiring, or altering a piece of jewelry
• To determine monetary damages to a piece of jewelry
• To forecast your potential revenue upon sale of your jewelry

According to the February 2004 issue of a leading consumer reporting magazine, "An inaccurate appraisal can cost you money. You wind up either spending too much on insurance or getting too little when you sell. The trick is getting an appraisal that's just right."
