An appraisal is a document describing your jewelry based on its individual and unique characteristics for the purpose of identification and determining a value. The value assigned to your jewelry varies depending on the purpose of the appraisal, (i.e. insurance replacement value, estate appraisal, donation appraisal, etc.). The first step to obtaining insurance coverage for your jewelry is to have your jewelry appraised. The most common type of appraisal is replacement value. In the event you experience a theft, loss, or mysterious experience, your insurance coverage allows for a replacement with a similar piece of jewelry.
Boyd Jeweler’s licensed appraiser and graduate gemologist will carefully document every characteristic that makes your jewelry unique and determine the appropriate appraised value. We utilize the latest gemological equipment to precisely identify your jewelry. The fee for this service begins at $100, however, reduced pricing is available for multiple jewelry appraisals.
Not sure what the gemstone in your jewelry is? We also offer a Gem Identification service to identify gemstones. The fee for this service is $35.
