Diamond, Jewelry & Watch Appraisals: For Insurance and Valuations

There are times in life when it is very important to know how much the jewelry you have in your possession is worth.Insurance companies often require an appraisal before they’re willing to extend coverage.
The settlement process works similarly, whether you’re negotiating the end of a marriage or handling an estate. Let’s not forget, it’s nice to know what you have before you sell your jewelry –
why accept a price that’s far too low?
