Jewelry appraisals can cost over $100 per piece\u00a0and, in many instances, they\u00a0are\u00a0an unnecessary expense.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You can get the same information from a jewelry buyer, without paying a penny.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. When making a purchase, most jewelry stores will offer you a free appraisal.\u00a0All you have to do is ask for it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. It is difficult to accurately determine diamond and gemstone quality \/ size when the stones are already mounted in jewelry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Appraisal values usually reflect inflated retail prices. This is because the appraiser wants to be careful not to offend you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. An appraisal contains one person\u2019s opinion. If you are attempting to sell your jewelry, potential buyers will conduct their own analysis to determine your jewelry\u2019s quality and value for themselves.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The only reason to have your jewelry appraised is if your insurance provider requires it. Apart from that, jewelry appraisals don\u2019t provide any particularly useful information that you couldn\u2019t get for free from a local jewelry buyer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
