How often do I need to have my jewelry appraised?

Most insurance companies require a new valuation and appraisal every 3-5 years. I recommend you reappraise according to your insurance requirements or when the gems or metals market fluctuates more than 10-20%.

Have you purchased jewelry on a cruise ship or in the Caribbean?

Would you like to have your purchase verified for quality and value? Check with the seller of your jewelry as to their policy for rebates and returns. Often an appraisal from an independent GIA graduate gemologist is needed for this purpose.
