Our experienced team of jewelry appraisers is GIA certified, and the documents produced will be accepted by even the most strict insurers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-base-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-base-background-color has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide has-base-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cdf71049831b6cdffe6b0b0abb444369\">Should I have my jewelry insured?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ca108b9952c00120fe170827e7de728c\">Having adequate insurance for your jewelry can mean the difference between a total loss or being made whole.  Most insurance policies have deductibles that can exceed the replacement cost of the item.  We can help you sort and value your collection to get a better understanding of your insurance needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-base-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-base-background-color has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide has-base-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f052b5dcd763ccb11bafeaaeff8e78b2\">Do I need an appraisal to sell my item?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b6ec4160c383a3b8dbe03606c9686147\">Any documentation accompanying an item of jewelry can lend credibility to a sale.  Having a new appraisal written can be a useful tool to represent its authenticity and replacement value.  Depending on the expected sale price, a professional appraisal may not be necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-base-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-base-background-color has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide has-base-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4eaa46d43ea2bb69ae650b65fb34a019\">Do you buy jewelry?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-15700e32d5e8aeff73f94ea6bc0fdb52\">An appraisal document is NOT an offer to buy a piece of jewelry.
