Jewelry Appraisal- Appraise! Appraise, and Re-Appraise!
Jewelry Appraisal – Appraise! Appraise! and Re-Appraise!
Have your jewelry appraised! Theft is on the rise and if your jewelry hasn’t been recently appraised, it needs to be! Diamonds, gold and platinum have made huge gains over the last couple of years and if you haven’t had your jewelry updated with your insurance, you could be potentially loosing more than your jewelry if stolen!
Diamonds have increased in value almost 50% while platinum and silver have seen historical jumps in value as well. Once you have had your appraisal, you need to call your insurance agent right way to update and validate the new value of your precious jewelry. For example, if you paid $5,000 for a diamond necklace more than 5 years ago, it could cost you $10-$15,000 today if you had to replace it! Of course non of us want to think about our homes being broken into, but it is a common occurrence and we can never be too careful.
Where can you find a reputable appraiser that you can trust? One suggestion is to go through either THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF JEWELRY APPRAISERS or THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF APPRAISERS. These professionals are considered ethical and are required to be continuously educated. Or you can go to your Boca Raton, FL own Raymond Lee Jewelers to meet with their own in-house expert and can help guide you to ensure protection and appraisal accuracy.
Also, please remember to contact your insurance agent to be aware of your insurance policies and making updates to policy to be ensure you are most protected.
