How often should I have my jewelry appraisals updated?
You should have your jewelry appraisal updated every three years, however, an annual update may be in your best interest. Prices of diamonds, precious metals, and colored gemstones often change from year-to-year and may fluctuate up or down depending on market conditions. It is important to be sure that you are protected in the unfortunate event of a loss. Appraisal updates are critical for keeping your jewelry appropriately covered.

Division of Property
Whether you are an individual, executor, personal representative or an attorney we welcome you! Sorting jewelry can be a daunting task. We do it every day! Downsizing, death, or simply deciding what to do with gem and jewelry prized possessions is our speciality.
