Why Get an Appraisal?

People want to know about the value of their jewelry and in many cases need to know.  A professional qualified appraiser can provide the answers
once their client's intended use is known.  Some of the reasons are:

   •  For insurance on loss or damage

   •  For verification of retail, wholesale or Internet purchase

   •  For resale value

   •  For division of property in a dissolution of marriage

   •  For estate planning, taxes, probate, inheritance and/or distribution of property

   •  For tax deductible charitable contributions of gems or jewelry over $500.00
