Appraisals, Authenticated with Expertise & Purchase

Providing detailed, professional evaluations to protect, insure, and celebrate the true value of your jewelry with the opportunity to sell directly after assessment. We offer transparent, expert-led appraisals that not only determine market value but can lead to an immediate purchase offer.

Comprehensive Valuation & Certification

Begin with a private consultation where we examine your piece in detail—assessing gemstones, metals, signatures, craftsmanship, and historical context. Our certified appraisers apply gemological expertise and market insight to determine fair, up-to-date valuations for insurance, resale, or estate purposes.

Each appraisal includes a thorough written report with photographs, exact measurements, and a full breakdown of value factors. This document is designed to meet insurance industry standards and is accepted by all major providers.

Market Analysis & Value Assessment

We evaluate your jewelry based on current global market trends, provenance, rarity, and condition. Whether it’s a signed vintage brooch, a solitaire engagement ring, or a custom-made necklace, we consider both intrinsic material value and collectible significance.

Our team regularly updates valuation benchmarks to ensure your appraisal reflects real-time worth, whether you’re preparing for resale, division of assets, or estate planning.

Specialist Appraisal for Signed & Vintage Pieces

With a deep understanding of fine and estate jewelry, we provide appraisals that recognize the nuances of signed works and historical craftsmanship. Pieces from renowned houses—Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron, and more—are appraised with respect to their brand heritage, serials, design periods, and archive references.

We help you unlock the full story and value of your heirlooms, offering peace of mind and informed ownership.

Official Documentation & Support

Your appraisal includes professionally formatted documents suitable for legal and insurance purposes. We also offer digital copies for easy storage and quick access.

Should you need to file a claim, sell a piece, or update a policy, our team is available to assist you with follow-up consultations, updates, or reappraisals as the market evolves.

Appraisals for Insurance, Legal, or Estate Purposes

Whether you’re updating an insurance policy, handling inheritance matters, or dividing assets, our documents are formatted to meet industry and legal standards.

Multi-Piece or Collection Assessments

We appraise not only individual items, but entire collections—including watches, jewelry, and loose stones. Preferential rates available for estate portfolios or repeated valuations.

Optional Purchase Offers Following Appraisal

Our appraisal service doesn’t end with documentation — it opens the door to the next step, should you wish to take it. Once your jewelry, watch, or gemstone has been professionally evaluated, we may extend a direct purchase offer based on its current market value.

This process is entirely optional and obligation-free. Whether you’re exploring the idea of selling or are ready to move forward, we offer a seamless transition from appraisal to acquisition — handled with transparency, discretion, and respect for the true worth of your piece.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clarity on our jewelry appraisal services, documentation, pricing, and what to expect when entrusting your pieces to our experts.

What types of items do you appraise?

We provide professional appraisals for a wide range of fine objects, including diamond and colored gemstone jewelry, antique and estate pieces, signed creations from renowned houses such as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Bulgari, as well as vintage and luxury timepieces. We also evaluate loose gemstones, heirloom pieces, and unique collectibles. Whether modern or centuries-old, each item is treated with the same level of attention, discretion, and expertise.

What is included in the appraisal report?

Every appraisal report is crafted to meet the highest standards of clarity and precision. It includes high-resolution images, detailed descriptions of each piece, gemstone and metal analysis (including carat weight, clarity, color, and cut), hallmark and signature identification, and condition assessment. The report also provides a clear statement of value, whether for insurance replacement, fair market, estate tax, or resale purposes. All reports are formatted for acceptance by insurers, estate planners, legal advisors, and financial institutions.

How is the appraisal value determined?

Our valuation process considers a combination of technical gemological data and current market conditions. We examine each component of your piece—its intrinsic materials (gemstones, precious metals), craftsmanship, provenance, rarity, and condition. When relevant, we factor in brand value and historical significance, particularly for signed or period-specific pieces. Our goal is to provide a realistic and defensible valuation that reflects the item’s true worth in today’s market, supported by our in-depth knowledge and access to real-time data from international jewelry markets and auctions.

Can I sell or have my jewelry bought back by you after the appraisal?

Yes, we do offer a jewelry buyback service. After the appraisal, if you decide to sell your piece, we can provide a fair market offer and facilitate the purchase process smoothly and securely. Feel free to contact us for more details or to discuss your specific items.

Can I have multiple items appraised at once?

Yes, we frequently perform appraisals on entire collections or estates. Whether you are organizing a personal inventory, managing inherited assets, or preparing for sale, we offer collection-wide evaluations and can provide cataloged documentation for each piece. Discounts or flat-rate pricing may be available for multi-item appraisals, and we can advise on the best format for organizing and archiving your collection.

Can you appraise unsigned or unbranded jewelry?

Certainly. While signed pieces carry distinctive value, many unsigned items also possess significant worth due to their materials, craftsmanship, or historical context. Our experts are trained to identify stylistic periods, construction methods, and gemological traits that help determine origin, age, and value. We provide the same level of detail and professionalism for unsigned items as we do for brand-name jewelry.

How often should I update an appraisal?

Jewelry values fluctuate with changes in the precious metals and gemstone markets, as well as shifting demand for certain styles or makers. For insurance purposes, we recommend updating appraisals every 3 to 5 years. If you’ve recently inherited a collection, made a major purchase, or experienced a life event such as divorce or estate planning, it’s wise to have a current valuation to ensure accuracy and protection.
