Appraisal Pricing
Jewelry Appraisal Pricing
Our fees reflect the amount of work, the difficulty of each item, and the research required to produce a fully comprehensive report. Base prices are listed below; an exact estimate is always quoted once your pieces are presented for examination.
Additional items start at $50 and scale with complexity — a spray brooch with multiple diamonds takes far longer to appraise than a 0.25-carat diamond solitaire.

What’s Included in Your Appraisal
Every appraisal includes exacting documentation, digital photographs, and plotting diagrams on stones over 1.00 carat — everything you need for proper insurance coverage. We’re happy to grade your stones before reading any report provided at the point of purchase, so you receive a completely unbiased, expert opinion of the grading.
Fees are based on the amount of work, the difficulty of the items, and any research necessary for a fully comprehensive report. Larger collections are priced on an hourly basis.
Please Bring Your Documentation
Bring any available documentation along with the item(s) to be appraised:
- Previous appraisals
- Sales receipts
- Grading reports
- Insurance listings
Complete documentation ensures we have all the facts in your file. If any discrepancies exist, we’ll address them during your session. The thoroughness of your report determines how well you’re covered in the event of loss, theft, or damage.
