Written jewelry appraisals are detailed and professional assessments of jewelry, with descriptions and photographs, done by Buckhead Jewelry Appraisers. Conducting a jewelry appraisal in Atlanta can help protect your valuables and provide an accurate estimate of their value, which is important for insurance and other purposes later on.
Understanding the Basics of Jewelry Appraisals
A jewelry appraisal is a written report that describes an item, evaluates its quality, and determines its value. This report typically includes details such as weight, materials and metals used, and any markings present on the item. The process involves examining the piece, researching market values of similar items, verifying authenticity, and creating the official document.
Key Areas of Jewelry Appraisals
Ring Appraisal
Ring appraisal involves examining your ring to determine its actual value. We assess several factors, such as the quality of the main stone (like a diamond) and the design of the setting. After this assessment, we provide a document confirming the ring’s value, which is useful for insurance purposes or to understand its true worth.
Watch Appraisal
Buckhead Jewelry Appraisers are also skilled in conducting branded watch appraisals, including a Rolex watch appraisal. We examine both the aesthetic and mechanical aspects of a piece to identify its material and value. A pocket watch appraisal follows a similar meticulous evaluation process to ensure accurate valuation and a comprehensive understanding of the item.
Diamond Appraisal
A diamond appraisal is a document detailing the key traits, or 4Cs, of a diamond (cut, color, clarity, and carat weight). Buckhead Jewelry Appraisers carefully inspect the stone to determine its value based on current market prices, which can sometimes surpass its original purchase price.
Gold Appraisal
A gold appraisal involves determining the weight and purity of gold, following a global standard applicable to other precious metals like silver and platinum. After evaluating the item’s condition you receive a detailed report listing all the important pieces of information about your gold that helps determine its current market value.
Gemstone Appraisal
A gemstone appraisal, in particular, whether diamond or colored, should provide detailed descriptions using specific gemological terms such as weight, dimensions, cut, clarity, and color for each gem. Qualified appraisers assess these characteristics to provide an accurate valuation of the gemstone.
Vintage and Antique Appraisal
A vintage and antique appraisal assesses the worth of old items. Antiques are over 100 years old, while vintage items are younger, usually less than a century old. Buckhead Jewelry Appraisers provide detailed reports to determine the items’ market value, considering their age, history, and rarity.
