On-Site Jewellery Appraisals
Appraisals for insurance, estate and probate purposes. We do everything on-site. Same day service is possible – by appointment.
Insurance Appraisals
This type of appraisal is meant to help you insure a piece of jewellery. We complete a full inspection of the item and create a report with a photo or two, a full description and the estimated replacement value. This type of appraisal is meant to set the upper limit of coverage on your insurance policy for the jewellery item.
