A jewelry appraisal is a formal evaluation of your jewelry piece to determine its market value.

The appraisal comes with a document that outlines the details and findings of the piece, using clear and industry-standard grading terms. This report includes key details, including your jewelry’s makeup, design, and overall worth.

The value determined by an appraisal is typically used for purposes like insurance, resale, or even estate planning.

While there's no absolute guidelines as to how often you should get your piece appraised, a general recommendation is once every 4 to 5 years. This timeframe is enough to include any significant changes in your piece's value that it may have due to market fluctuations or wear and tear

Market trends, fluctuations in the price of precious metals, such as gold—which has seen significant increases in recent years—and gemstones, as well as the piece's condition, all play a role in determining its value at any given moment.
