The Value of Peace of Mind
At Everglow Jewelry, we offer in-house jewelry appraisal services in Tampa performed by a fully accredited appraiser. Whether you’re insuring a valuable piece, updating records, or simply curious about what you own, we provide clear, accurate assessments backed by industry credentials.
There are no official regulations who may call themselves an “appraiser” or give an appraisal document. However, our appraisals are conducted by a Registered Gemologist Appraiser, certified by the International School of Gemology. Each document is insurance-grade and widely accepted by insurance providers. Unlike unofficial evaluations, our appraisals offer the legitimacy and detail your can rely on.
Appraisals can be dropped off by appointment or during regular business hours. Appraisals are completed with specialized equipment before or after business hours, but we aim to complete appraisals within a few business days.
