Appraisal
Precious metals and gems are entities with prices that can fluctuate. The details in your appraisal clearly define the qualities and attributes of those metals and gems so that a determination of value can be consistently assessed over time. It is therefore best to have your appraisals updated every 4 to 5 years to keep your insurance coverage up to date, not to mention for your personal knowledge in case of a chip or missing gem.
Our certified gemologists are able to provide a full appraisal of any gem, diamond, piece of jewellery or watch.
