Why Choose Olde Towne Jewelers?
One of the key reasons to trust Olde Towne Jewelers with your appraisal needs is our in-house Gemologist/Appraiser, a proud Graduate Gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). This certification ensures that you receive precise and professional appraisals, backed by extensive knowledge and experience.
We understand that different situations require different types of appraisals. That's why we offer both written jewelry appraisals for insurance purposes and verbal jewelry appraisals, depending on your specific needs. Many insurance companies require updated appraisals to make sure your valuable items are covered at their current market values. Our comprehensive written appraisals include detailed descriptions and photographs, ensuring you have all the necessary documentation for your records.
In addition to jewelry appraisals, we provide complete appraisal services for all types of watches and fine sterling silver. We also specialize in appraising a wide range of antique items, ensuring that every precious item you own is accurately evaluated.
Insurance Appraisals vs. Offers to Purchase
It's important to note that getting an appraisal for insurance purposes is different from getting an offer to purchase your jewelry. Insurance appraisals determine the replacement value of your item, ensuring that your insurance policy covers its current market value. This type of appraisal often reflects a higher value because it accounts for the cost of replacing the item with a similar new one.
On the other hand, an offer to purchase your jewelry determines the fair market value, which is the price you might expect to receive if you sold the item in the current market. This value can be lower than the insurance appraisal value as it reflects the item's resale value, considering factors like demand and condition.
Estate Appraisals for Equitable Distribution
When it comes to estate planning and the equitable distribution of assets, having accurate appraisals is essential. Estate appraisals help determine the fair market value of items to ensure that assets are divided fairly among heirs. This type of appraisal provides a clear and unbiased assessment, which can be crucial in avoiding disputes and ensuring that each beneficiary receives their fair share.
The Importance of Updated Appraisals
Keeping your appraisals current is crucial for peace of mind and protection. Updated appraisals not only ensure that your insurance coverage is adequate but also streamline the process if you ever need to file a claim. Furthermore, having organized and documented appraisals helps you keep track of your assets more efficiently.
