At The Expert Appraisal Company, jewelry and watch appraisals are prepared for items where accurate, well-supported valuations are essential for informed decision-making and fiduciary or legal functions.
Jewelry and watch appraisals may include antique and contemporary jewelry; precious and semi-precious gemstones including diamond and colored gems; precious metals including gold, platinum, and silver; signed and designer jewelry; large groups of estate jewelry; and fine timepieces including antique and contemporary wristwatches and pocket watches. Brands frequently encountered include Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, Omega, and other important makers. Evaluation considers materials, craftsmanship, maker, period, condition, gemstone quality, provenance, market level, and rarity. Scope and methodology are tailored to the significance of the items as well as the assignment requirements and conditions.
Each appraisal is carefully researched, prepared, and substantiated in compliance with USPAP standards and is suitable for IRS, insurance, estate, legal, and planning purposes. Services are designed to provide clear, defensible valuations for fiduciaries, advisors, and decision-makers.
