What is a jewelry appraisal?
A jewelry appraisal is a written document that describes a professional evaluation of your jewelry in detail and states its value for a specific purpose. Jewelry appraisals are not the same as and do not replace diamond or gemstone grading reports.
Your appraisal typically includes:
- Metal type and purity
- Diamond or gemstone details, such as size and quality
- Notes on craftsmanship and condition
- The jewelry’s value based on today’s market
- Photographs for identification and insurance records
Why do you need a jewelry appraisal?
At Pampillonia, we provide jewelry appraisals specifically for insurance purposes. An insurance appraisal documents the value and details of your jewelry so it can be properly covered in case of loss, theft, or damage.
Many people assume appraisals are only needed when selling a piece, but insurance appraisals serve a very different purpose. They establish the replacement value of your jewelry, which helps your insurance company determine the correct coverage amount. Without an up-to-date appraisal, you may be underinsured and unable to replace your piece with one of similar quality.
You may need a jewelry appraisal for insurance when:
- You’ve purchased a new engagement ring, wedding band, or fine jewelry
- You’ve received a gift, inheritance, or estate piece
- Your jewelry has increased in value over time
Our professional jewelry appraisals ensure your piece is accurately documented and properly protected, giving you peace of mind knowing your jewelry is covered.
