Appraisals
A jewelry appraisal is a complete quantification and qualification of an item of jewelry. The appraisal certificate includes a full description of your piece of jewelry; carat weight, clarity, color rating, cut quality, value of the metals and workmanship that add up to a final replacement value.
The most important aspect of an appraisal document is not the final value; it is the thorough description which enables another professional to replace the item if it is lost or stolen.
