Insurance & Estate Appraisals
Why get an independent appraisal done on your jewellery? Many insurance companies require regularly updated appraisals by a professional gemologist to insure your special items. It is also a very important process to document your valuables properly when planning for your estate.
The Gemist provides expertly detailed information and high quality photographs to ensure that your items are catalogued in a professional way in case of loss, theft, or inheritance.
The Gemist uses a combination of industry knowledge and the latest equipment, technology, and software to provide accurate and detailed appraisals. Keri takes into account factors such as market trends, rarity, and condition to determine your jewellery’s value. Feel free to reach out to Keri to discuss your jewellery appraisal needs.
