Appraisals

John Anthony Jr. is a Graduate Gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America and a Certified Gemologist Appraiser of the American Gem Society. Schedule an appointment by email to have your jewelry professionally appraised for insurance purposes. We provide accurate, state-of-the-art appraisals using the latest computer technology to ensure your valuables are properly documented and protected. We also offer estate appraisals. Personal jewelry appraisals should be kept current. Insurance companies now require much more detailed documentation than in the past, and it is recommended that appraisals be reviewed every three to four years. Some items may require more frequent updates. If market values increase, outdated appraisals may leave you underinsured in the event of a loss. If market values decrease, outdated appraisals may cause you to pay for more coverage than necessary. Remember, it is the owner's responsibility to keep jewelry appraisals up to date.
