| Addressing Your Appraisal Concerns |
|
Did you know that the same item of jewelry can have several different values depending upon how the appraisal is to be used? The "Retail" value as provided by your jeweler at the point of sale is not necessarily the same as the "replacement value" for purposes of insurance scheduling. Likewise, the "replacement value" as used for insurance scheduling is not the same as the value assigned for the purpose of planning or settling an estate.
Because this value can have far reaching implications, it is essential that the jewelry appraiser you choose understands the differences in value, and how to establish the most appropriate market to research for your particular jewelry and appraisal purpose.

Recent technological advances have resulted in the development of new synthetic gemstones and many new methods for enhancing or treating natural gemstones. These changes have made it extremely difficult for jewelers to separate natural and untreated gemstones from their synthetic and enhanced counterparts.
Because the use of synthetics and/or gemstone enhancements in jewelry can significantly impact the value of your jewelry, it is essential that the appraiser you choose is a Graduate Gemologist who keeps abreast of changes in the industry, keeps current on technology and the methods used in the identification of gemstones, gemstone properties, and the processes of separating natural from synthetic, and enhanced gemstones.
When you need to know the value of your jewelry you should hire an appraiser who has been trained and tested in the field of gemology as well as in the field of personal property appraisal and valuation theory.
It’s a matter of value.
