IDGL is specializes in jewelry appraisals. We have a team of experienced gemologists who assess the value, quality, and authenticity of jewelry pieces. Our appraisals are recognized by insurance companies and are often required to insure high-value jewelry. The appraisal process includes a thorough examination of the jewelry, including checking the weight, size, and clarity of the gemstones, the condition of the metal, and the craftsmanship of the piece. We also consider factors such as the designer, brand, and historical significance of the jewelry. We provide a detailed report of our findings, including high-quality photographs, video, descriptions, and appraised values.

The most common of these three jewelry appraisal types is the replacement value appraisal. Since it determines and officially records the retail replacement value of your jewelry piece (meaning the cost to replace your piece if it is lost or destroyed), the replacement value appraisal is vital to any successful jewelry insurance process. It's important to note that the retail replacement value of your diamond engagement ring or other jewelry piece is not the same as its resale value.

If it is an accurate resale value you're looking to determine for your prized piece or pieces of jewelry, you'll want to request a fair market value appraisal from your jeweler. This jewelry appraisal determines the realistic and fair sales price to set if you opt to sell your jewelry.

Maybe you've decided to liquidate your assets, and you're in need of accurate resale values for your liquidation items, including your jewelry. If so, it's a liquidation appraisal that you're in the market for. This type of jewelry appraisal will determine approximately how much money you can expect to receive for an immediate resale.
