Insurance Appraisals
Jewelry appraisals for insurance purposes are the most common type of jewelry appraisals needed in Pittsburgh, Cranberry Township, Gibsonia and Wexford, Pennsylvania. Jewelry Appraisals are necessary because in most instances, your homeowner’s policy will only cover jewelry up to a certain limit, typically around $1,000, and only cover loss from theft. Therefore, it is so important to have a jewelry appraisal, with the proper value, on all high-value jewelry such as engagement rings, wedding bands, diamond jewelry and gemstone jewelry.
The market values of jewelry, gold, platinum and diamonds are constantly changing. We suggest you have a jewelry insurance appraisal performed every three years to ensure your jewelry is adequately insured in the event of a loss. However, most insurance companies require you to update your appraisal every 2-5 years.
Professional jewelry appraisals include the following:
- Detailed description of each item
- Enlarged digital photograph of each item on the document
- Metal content determination
- Gemstone identification, grading, measurement and weight calculation/estimation
- Verification of gemological laboratory reports whenever possible
- Fully researched valuation at the appropriate market level
- Identification of designer or manufacturer whenever possible
- Complete professional cleaning and inspection of mounting
