Jewelry Appraisals

Jewelry appraisals are generally provided for insurance, determination of estate values, resale advice, dissolution of marriage and charitable donations. Jeweler's Touch has a GIA Gemologist and diamond expert on-site happy to perform appraisal of your unique jewelry. (Required by most insurance companies)

To assist us in giving you the most accurate jewelry appraisals possible, please bring in any documentation you might have for your jewelry. Examples would be receipts, diamond certificates, diamond reports or previous appraisals.

Most insurance companies recommend that you have your jewelry appraisal reports updated every three to five years. If you wish to have your jewelry appraised or need more information, stop in or call Jeweler's Touch at (714) 868-7556.
