Appraisals While We Wait

Jewelry appraisals are done by appointment in our secure environment or at your location.

If the intended use of your report is for insurance purposes the cost is $120 for the first item and $80 for each additional item. This assumes there is nothing extraordinary about your item(s). Most items fall within these pricing parameters. However, if there is any additional cost, we will inform you at the beginning of the appointment.
