As times are changing and gold prices are rising, jewelry is once again an investment. Wedding bands, rings, bracelets, family heirlooms should be reevaluated and appraised based on the current market value. Your insurance company will only cover assets that are appraised by a certified jewelry appraiser. Certain pieces and heirlooms will need to be covered under a separate jewelry rider with your insurance company in order to be covered for loss, theft, or damage.

We can help you with reappraisals, determining current market value of your piece, and providing you with a professional appraisal for your insurance company. Dan can help you understand the value of your piece and why its important to have it appraised, especially in today’s economy.

Trust those accredited to take care of you.
