Jewelry Appraisals
Accurate valuations by certified gemologists
Our on-staff gemologists will gladly provide a written appraisal for any item we sell in our store. We charge $35.00 per item for this service. Please provide us with the name of your insurance company, or a list of their requirements, so that we can provide accurate information for insuring your jewelry. We do appraisals on merchandise we did not sell at a rate of $75.00 for the first item, and $40.00 for each additional item.
If you're simply curious about a particular item you have, we'll gladly help you determine if it really is the fabulous and valuable "ruby" your dear Aunt Tillie always said it was, or if it is in fact a glass rhinestone from the five and dime, as you always suspected. Well, you get the idea, and this service is free!
