Insurance Company Compliant: All our appraisals are legal
documents for
insurance companies. We
provide two copies with a full description and a picture. One copy for your
insurance
company
and one for yourself.
Time frame: These appraisals usually take one business day to one
week,
depending on the time of
year. We prefer if you make an appointment for a certain day of the week, and
then typically
we
could have it the next day.
Waiting in the store for appraisal to be finished: If you want to
wait while
we do your
appraisal, be prepared to sit for many hours because we have to help customers
when they
come
in. It takes a lot of time to determine the quality and the value of every stone
in the
ring.
Sometimes we have to call vendors to get an exact value, where it be diamonds,
rubies,
sapphires
or any gemstones.
Value: We like to give a realistic value to remake the piece. Many
companies
over inflate or
under inflate the value of the item. It is important for it to be valued high
enough to
replace
the item, yet not so high that you pay big insurance bill forever.
EGL USA/GIA Certificate: We can get your diamond certified through
EGL USA or
GIA in Los Angeles
California. This requires removing your diamond from the setting and mailing it
either lab
with
insurance. The cost varies depending on the size of the diamond.
