Appraisals

An appraisal is a document that describes, considers its relative quality, and assigns a value to an item. These documents can be for insurance (replacement) purposes or for estate (fair market value) purposes. We, here at Lautares Jewelers offer both types of appraisals.

As members of the American Gem Society, and having a Registered Jeweler on staff, we have the knowledge and training to give accurate and detailed appraisals for your treasured pieces of jewelry.

We are also able to give value and documentation to your silver hollowware and flatware. We can even come to home to evaluate your items.

We ask that you call and make an appointment, then bring your items on that day. We thoroughly clean your jewelry then write up a description and value. We ask that you provide us any certificates or grading reports that you may have for your jewelry. This allows us to offer a more complete and accurate estimated replacement values. We provide two copies of the appraisals, one for you and one for your insurance company.
