During the appraisal appointment:
A professionally written appraisal begins with a Cover Page and Scope of Work section detailing clients information, the documents objective, function and the type of value being sought. Next, you’ll find the body of the report containing a detailed description of the composition, quality and monetary value of your jewelry along with several photographs. Additionally, you’ll find sections detailing Assumptions and Limiting Conditions, a Confidentiality Statement, Privacy Statement, Certification of Appraisal Practice and a list of gemological equipment available to use during the examination.
It will take roughly thirty minutes to set up my equipment and answer any questions you might have. For an Insurance Appraisal, examination time depends on the complexity of the piece and can take between 20 - 45 minutes for a full examination of each item. For Estate Appraisals, you can expect 5 items reviewed every two hours.
For individual item insurance appraisals, I will have a detailed report emailed to you when the examination is completed. For unique or antique pieces requiring deeper research, you can expect a finished appraisal on the spot. For or an Estate Appraisal turnaround depends on the size of the estate and can take up to 1-2 days for a finished report.
Ideally, your jeweler should have access to an independent gemologist to appraise your jewelry, as this provides a more objective and trustworthy evaluation, especially when determining the value of valuable pieces, as a jeweler selling their inventory might have a vested interest in inflating the price; an independent gemologist offers an unbiased assessment.
