The Purpose Determines the Value
Types of Value
Retail Replacement Value
An estimate of the cost to replace your jewelry with an item of like kind and quality in the appropriate retail market. This value is commonly used for insurance coverage.
Fair Market Value
An opinion of the price an item would reasonably sell for between a willing buyer and seller in the appropriate market. This value is commonly used for estate, resale, donation, or legal purposes.
An appraisal is an opinion of value prepared for a specific purpose. It is not an offer to purchase and may not reflect the amount an item would sell for in a different market.
Protecting Your Jewelry
How to Insure Your Jewelry
The process generally begins with a current appraisal, which provides documentation your insurance company can use to establish coverage.
Depending on your needs, jewelry may be scheduled on a homeowners or renters policy, or covered through a separate jewelry insurance policy. Coverage, deductibles, exclusions, and claim terms vary, so review the details with your insurance professional.
We recommend reviewing your appraisal and insurance coverage every three to five years, or after a significant repair, redesign, or change in the market.
