Frequently Asked Questions
Who Can Appraise Jewelry?
A qualified appraiser should have gemological training, understand diamond grading and metals, and provide detailed written reports. Always check experience, credentials, and pricing transparency before choosing an appraiser.
How Long Should a Jewelry Appraisal Take?
Simple pieces usually take 15 to 20 minutes. More complex or multi-stone items may take longer, while large collections may require drop-off. A good jeweler will explain the timeline before starting.

Update every 3 to 5 years, especially for high-value items like diamonds, gold, and custom jewelry. Market prices change, so keeping your appraisal current ensures accurate insurance coverage.
