Every significant piece of jewelry should be professionally appraised and insured. Understanding the appraisal and insurance process helps you protect your investment immediately after purchase. A jewelry appraisal is a professional document that states the replacement value of a piece for insurance purposes. The appraisal value reflects what it would cost to replace the piece with one of equivalent quality at current market prices. This value is typically higher than the purchase price because it reflects retail replacement cost rather than your original transaction price. At dimend SCAASI, diamonds are sold with GIA, AGS, or IGI certification, which provides the independent quality documentation that appraisers use to establish replacement value. Having the certificate in hand makes the appraisal process straightforward and the resulting document accurate.
