Whether you’ve inherited a cherished heirloom, received a new engagement ring or are simply curious about the value of a piece you’ve owned for years, getting a professional jewelry appraisal is an essential step in protecting your investment. At Accent Jewelers in Memphis, we specialize in helping clients understand the true value of their jewelry—because knowledge brings peace of mind.
What Is a Jewelry Appraisal?
A jewelry appraisal is a detailed document that provides a written estimate of a piece’s current value in the appropriate market. It’s conducted by a trained professional who evaluates the item’s materials, craftsmanship, condition and market trends. At Accent Jewelers, our appraisals include a thorough inspection and a printed report that can be used for insurance, resale or personal documentation.
Why You Need a Jewelry Appraisal
Here are a few key reasons why getting your jewelry appraised is not just smart—it’s essential:
Insurance Coverage
In the unfortunate event of theft, loss or damage, insurance companies require an up-to-date appraisal to process your claim. Without one, you may not be reimbursed for the true value of your item.
Resale or Trade-In Value
If you’re considering selling a piece or trading it in, an appraisal gives you a clear picture of its market value. It ensures you’re pricing it appropriately and can help you negotiate with confidence.
Estate Planning & Inheritance
Appraisals are often needed to fairly divide assets or prepare estate documents. Whether you’re planning ahead or managing a loved one’s estate, having accurate documentation of your jewelry’s value can help prevent confusion or disputes.
