Jewelry Appraisal FAQs for Phoenix, AZ Clients
Have questions before you drive from Phoenix to our Chandler showroom? Here are answers to what we’re asked most often.
Do I need an appointment for a jewelry appraisal?
Appraisal appointments are strongly recommended so we can dedicate uninterrupted time to your pieces. Schedule online or call the showroom, especially if you’re bringing multiple items from Phoenix.
How long does a typical appraisal take?
For a single engagement ring or simple piece, we may be able to complete the appraisal same-day or within a few business days. Larger collections or complex pieces may require additional time — we’ll outline this during your visit.
What should I bring with my jewelry?
Bring any previous appraisals, receipts, diamond or gemstone reports, and original paperwork you have. These details can help us document your jewelry more thoroughly.
Can you update an older appraisal I already have?
Yes. If you already have an appraisal that’s several years old, we can update it to reflect current market replacement values, which many insurance companies require every few years.
Do you buy jewelry if I decide to sell instead?
In many cases, yes. If you decide to sell, we can discuss purchase options separately from your appraisal so you understand both documented value and current buying offers.
