Jewelry Appraisals

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 be damaged or stolen. Getting your jewelry appraised is important from both an insurance and a personal value perspective.

Documentation

Obtaining a written appraisal is always a wise choice. At Legacy & Co. Jewelers, we use advanced software to help determine the true market value of each piece. This technology allows us to accurately assess the carat weight without removing the stone from its setting. By considering factors such as the stone's measurement, precision, and the type of setting, we provide a detailed and reliable estimate for your jewelry.

Why get your jewelry appraised

    • Provides official proof of ownership for your jewelry.
    • Helps secure insurance for your jewelry, ensuring you can receive a replacement or cash if it’s lost, damaged, or stolen.
    • Educates you on the true value of your piece, including key details like cut, clarity, gemstone weight, designer considerations, and metal quality.
    • Assists law enforcement in tracking down lost or stolen jewelry if it’s pawned or resold.
    • Determines fair market value for estate sales and other estimates.

    Semi-regular appraisals are recommended, as the value of metals and precious stones can change over time.
