Jewelry Insurance Appraisals
Jewelry appraisals for insurance
Protect your wearable treasures with a professional jewelry appraisal you can trust. Williamsburg Jewelers is proud to provide thorough, detailed jewelry appraisal documents for our guests, created with precision and with your best interest in mind.
What to bring
For the most accurate evaluation, we recommend bringing any original purchase receipts, prior appraisal documents, or lab certifications you may have. While not required, these items help ensure the most complete and precise documentation of your jewelry’s value.
Why appraisals matter
Keeping your jewelry appraisal current is essential to protecting your investment. Most experts recommend updating appraisals every five years, or sooner if there are significant changes in the precious metal or gemstone markets.
An up-to-date appraisal helps you:
-
Secure proper insurance coverage in the event of loss, theft or damage
-
Provide official documentation and proof of ownership for your insurance carrier
-
Maintain an accurate record of your jewelry’s current market value
Expert credentials
Your appraisal will be conducted by a highly qualified professional with credentials that set the standard in the industry:
-
Master appraiser with more than 50 years of experience
-
Graduate Gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA)
-
Certified Gemologist Appraiser through the American Gem Society (AGS)
With this level of expertise, you can feel confident your pieces are evaluated with accuracy, integrity and care.
Timeline & process
When you bring in your items, you’ll receive a claim ticket with a clear promise date for completion. Most appraisal documents are completed within 7 to 10 days, depending on the complexity of the pieces.
