Services
Insurance Appraisals
Insurance appraisals determine current retail or replacement values for jewelry, required by insurers for new purchases, policy changes, or donations. We use market guides and NYSE metal prices to ensure accuracy. Our formal documentation includes photographs and detailed analysis for insurance claims.
Estate Appraisals
Estate appraisals establish fair market values for tax purposes or family inheritance divisions. Our evaluations consider market trends and item condition to provide legally compliant valuations. Results are documented for probate or equitable distribution processes.
Gemstone Evaluation
We assess diamonds and colored gemstones for quality, weight, and authenticity using industry-standard tools. Our reports include clarity, color, and cut analysis without removing stones from settings. This non-invasive approach preserves jewelry integrity while ensuring accurate valuation.
Vintage Jewelry Appraisals
Vintage and antique jewelry appraisals consider historical significance, craftsmanship, and market demand. We research period-specific designs and materials to determine accurate values. Our reports highlight unique characteristics that influence collectible or heirloom item worth.
Watch Appraisals
Watch appraisals evaluate brand, condition, rarity, and functionality to determine market value. We assess both modern luxury and vintage timepieces using current pricing guides. Documentation includes serial numbers, materials, and mechanical performance assessments.
