| Jewelry is recognized as transparent wealth. Seldom do we realize how inflation has impacted the current value of jewelry. That said, is your appraisal current and are you 100% covered? |
When you lose or damage a piece of jewelry, you lose something both valuable and sentimental. With proper documentation, the piece can be restored or replaced.
Some insurance companies require appraisals be done every two years. Check your policy to make sure you are properly insured. And remember, gold has reached a record high in September 2009.
There are many different types of appraisals. The most common is for your insurer in case your jewelry is lost or stolen (a retail replacement appraisal), and jewelry is the 3rd most stolen item in the U.S. There are also appraisals for estate, divorce, fair market value, conservatorship, barter, etc.

The cost of an appraisal is $85. If you have multiple items, the cost per item after the 1st is $70. If you need many items appraised, call Erica for pricing.
Erica produces the most detailed appraisals. Her certification exam won her praise from Cos Altobelli, who is considered the top jewelry appraiser in the world. |
The ring shown below was appraised by both another jeweler and Erica's Fine Jewelry. After comparing the two appraisals for yourself, you decide which you'd rather have.

Thank you very much for the appraisals you did for me and my sister-in-law. Having never been to a jeweler's, I was a bit nervous about getting an appraisal done, but Erica immediately put me at ease with her relaxed yet professional demeanor. I appreciated the explanations she gave as she worked - I now know my ring better than I did before. The appraisal process was comfortable and not the least bit intimidating, and it was clear that Erica knew what she was doing. Thank you for making that experience positive. My sister-in-law and I now have detailed appraisals in beautiful, sturdy booklets, as well as printed and digital pictures of our rings. I'm glad that I found you, and I will certainly recommend Erica to anyone who could use her expertise.
