Appraisals

WHAT IS A JEWELLERY APPRAISAL?
A jewellery appraisal is a process in which a professional examines a piece of jewellery and arrives at an estimate of its worth. It is an unbiased opinion as to the identity, composition, quality and value described in an appraisal document, which is the official report of the appraisal.
WHY DO I NEED A JEWELLERY APPRAISAL?
There are a number of reasons to seek jewellery appraisal services, ranging from the need to insure a piece of jewellery, to the desire to price out jewellery before offering it for resale, settlement of an estate or for the division of property.  
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Due to the subjective nature of evaluation and because the Canadian jewellery industry lacks strict guidelines with regards to minimum education or experience for an Appraiser to provide an evaluation, it is not uncommon to see 2 appraisers opinions of value vary significantly. The burden is on the consumer to ensure a company's reputation and the Appraisers credentials.
