Who do you need an appraisal and what does one do for me? Most insurance companies require one before they issue a policy on your jewelry. Some customers might be facing tax situations, others might handle a family’s estate or maybe you just want to know what that old family heirloom is really worth.
As a professional, I always recommend to my customers that they get their item appraised at the time of purchase and then re-appraise it every 3-5 years, depending on market conditions.
