Jewelry Appraisal Services Based in Southern CA
Jewelry Insurance Appraisals
Jewelry appraisals safeguard the full value of your fine jewelry in the event of loss, damage, theft, or misplacement. For proper coverage, many insurance companies require a written appraisal by an independent, certified gemologist and appraiser.
Estate Jewelry Appraisals
Estate jewelry appraisals are necessary for certain circumstances and events including inherited estates or trusts, dissolution of marriage, legal settlements, trust distribution between heirs, and estate taxes.
Expert Witness & Litigation Support
As independent certified gemologists and professional appraisers, we have extensive experience in jewelry appraisal, gem identification, and jewelry design. We offer expert opinions, draft expert witness reports, and provide expert witness testimony and litigation support at deposition and trial.
Pre-Purchase & Quality Verification
Pre-Purchase Appraisals protect your investment and provide peace of mind so you feel confident and assured in purchasing fine jewelry.
Missing Jewelry Appraisals (Post Loss)
An inability to physically examine your jewelry items does not prevent us from offering an opinion of the value based on a hypothetical description. With over 25 combined years of jewelry appraisal experience, we have established a reputation for providing an accurate value for lost or stolen items based on information supplied by the client and supported by photographs, receipts, old appraisals, and/or verbal description of the items.
GIA Courier Services
Courier Services for GIA Certified Diamonds and Jewelry Appraisals
When buying or selling diamonds, we recommend having a reputable gemological laboratory evaluate the loose stone and create a grading report. GIA Diamond Grading Reports can increase the value of a diamond or gemstone.
