It is highly recommended that you have proper insurance documentation in the event that something unfortunate happens to your jewelry.  Most appraisals can be completed within 24 hours by one of our qualified appraisers.  We use industry accepted GIA Standards for any and all appraisals.  You can rest assured knowing your jewelry is properly valued and will pay for itself in the event of any mishap.  Please call in advance for multiple appraisal requests.  Also, if you have any accompanying documentation (i.e. Lab Certificates, Reciepts, etc.) we ask that you bring them in along with the piece being appraised.
