Why All Jewelry Owners Should Have Their Pieces Appraised
At Gems Are Forever, our team of Graduate Gemologists (G.G.) in Beverly Hills, trained at the esteemed Gemological Institute of America (GIA), understands the importance of a thorough and accurate jewelry appraisal.
Specializing in the purchase and sale of fine jewelry, diamonds, gemstones, and luxury timepieces, we believe that a professional appraisal not only provides valuable insight into the origin and authenticity of your pieces but also empowers owners with a clear understanding of their true worth—essential for personal knowledge and precise insurance coverage.
Here is what you can gain from a professional jewelry appraisal.
Gain Intimate Knowledge About Your Jewelry
Whether it's pins, brooches, earrings, rings, bracelets, or necklaces, a professional jewelry appraisal provides you with valuable insights into the piece’s style—be it Antique, Art Deco, Retro, Vintage, or Contemporary—and its composition, including the types of metals, gemstones, and other defining characteristics.
Armed with this knowledge, you'll be able to share the story, design, and provenance of your jewelry with confidence, while also understanding its true value.
Proof of Ownership and Financial Evaluations for Insurance Purposes
Jewelry insurance premiums are often determined by the value of your pieces, making an accurate appraisal essential for proper coverage in the event of loss or damage.
A professional appraisal also serves as proof of ownership, facilitating the swift recovery of your jewelry should it ever be stolen and later recovered by authorities.
Additionally, an up-to-date appraisal provides a documented record of your jewelry's current market value, which can be valuable if you choose to sell or re-assess the piece in the future.
Reason Three: Personal Protection & Peace of Mind
A professional jewelry appraisal provides you with crucial protection, ensuring not only the authenticity and integrity of your treasured pieces but also offering the added benefit of identifying any potential damage before it can lead to further deterioration or loss. Through careful examination, an expert appraiser can spot issues that may not be immediately visible to the untrained eye, preserving the longevity and value of your jewelry for years to come.
Engaging a skilled and experienced jeweler for this service is always a wise decision. It is far more prudent to invest in a thorough appraisal at the outset, rather than discovering later that some of your most beautiful, meaningful, and often irreplaceable pieces were inadequately protected. With proper documentation and a comprehensive understanding of their true value, you can safeguard both your investment and the sentimental significance of your jewelry.
