Sorting Appointment

A sorting appointment for your jewelry is needed if you would like to have your jewelry collection organized and evaluated. Our sorting appointment is an informal process where we sit down with you to determine what is real versus what is costume, or to organize an estate jewelry collection. If you are looking to have your jewelry sorted but not sold you'll need to set up a sorting appointment.

Appraisals

Our trained, GIA-certified appraiser will meticulously evaluate your jewelry to determine its retail replacement value—the cost of purchasing a comparable piece in today’s market.

The Independent Jewelry Appraiser is here and takes appointments on Wednesday mornings from 10 am to noon. He also comes in on Fridays but does not take appointments, (If you like, you may drop off your items in advance at any time during business hours).

He writes Insurance appraisals for the purpose of obtaining insurance. These Insurance appraisals will reflect full retail/new replacement values.

He also writes Fair Market Value appraisals which will work for IRS, Donation and Estate Purposes. These Fair Market Value appraisals take into consideration the physical state of condition of the piece and current market conditions and values.

The charges for written Appraisals start at $95.00 per item and go up from there depending on the complexity of the item. If you do not need a written appraisal there is no need to make an appointment with him. Your appraisal will be written for Fair Market Value which will also work for IRS, Donation and Estate Purposes. These Fair Market Value appraisals take into consideration the physical state of condition of the piece and current market conditions and values.
