Standard Insurance Appraisal - $95
A Standard Insurance Appraisal for a single jewelry item includes identifying and evaluating the gems (color, cut, clarity, and carat weight), documenting the metal type and weight, providing relevant certifications, including images, and preparing necessary documentation. It determines the retail replacement value. Additional appraisals are available for $70 each.

Verbal Appraisal - $35
A Verbal Appraisal includes all the details of a Standard Insurance Appraisal but without printed documentation. For complex, non-standard items, pricing may vary, and the exact cost will be provided before the appraisal begins.
