If you have not had your jewellery appraised in the last five years, we recommend you have it documented in detail today. While some appraisals are done for the purpose of obtaining insurance coverage in case of loss, damage or theft, they may also be used for estate evaluation, value comparisons, and for barter purposes when wishing to sell. In addition to your copy of the appraisal a 2nd will be kept on file in-store for your future reference.
