Flawless Jewelry Appraisals offers independent, accredited jewelry appraisals while you wait, in your home or at our office in Sherman Oaks, CA. Appraisals are typically done with the client present. The jewelry is cleaned and photographed, inspected for wear, and finally assessed for value.
Jewelry is appraised according to three main factors: beauty, durability, and rarity. Beauty and rarity have a direct impact on value, and the durability will affect how the piece is cared for and worn. Appraisal purposes include insurance, liquidation, estate/probate, dissolution of marriage, donation comparison, casualty loss and expert witness testimony. The code of ethics of the American Society of Appraisers is strictly observed and all appraisals are in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.
