Jewelry Appraisals
A jewelry appraisal identifies and evaluates a piece of jewelry, including a monetary valuation, whether for insurance, estate, or other financial or legal purposes. Jewelry appraisals need to be updated from time to time.
Gem Grading Reports
Gemstone grading reports identify and grade a stone and include a plot of the stone’s natural characteristics, but there is no monetary valuation given. As a result, a grading report never expires.
