Is My Jewelry Worth Appraising?

The first question we always get is: why should I have my jewelry appraised? The most common reason to get a jewelry appraisal is for insurance coverage. A detailed document describing your jewelry and its
worth assure you of a comparable replacement in case of loss or theft. Appraisals are generally performed on items valued in excess of $1,000, have sentimental value or when you choose to sell the jewelry. It is crucial to get an appraisal on items you wear daily or if you own a piece that you could not afford to replace. The Insurance Institute of America recommends that jewelry be re-appraised every two years.
