Your jewelry is important to you, whether it’s your engagement ring or a family heirloom it has a special place in your heart that you could never put a monetary value on. However, if you don’t know what the piece is worth, you’ll have a hard time selling it or getting insurance to pay for it if it’s damaged or stolen. Getting your jewelry appraised is important from both an insurance and a personal value perspective.
