Austin Jewelry Appraisers

Special Offer
If you would like a diamond or colored stone grading report on a stone that you are having appraised, that service is available for 20% more than the cost of having only the stone appraised. If the stone is mounted, there will also be a setting fee, since the grading reports can only be performed on loose stones.

An appraisal is a comprehensive document that lists all pieces being appraised separately and assigns a value for each piece individually. A detailed description, style, period (if applicable), method of manufacturing, any trademarks or identification stamps, metal type, karat, and color are listed for each piece. The weight of the piece is also listed in grams. Gemstones, if mounted, are listed with their pieces, otherwise they are listed separately. Diamonds have their actual or estimated weight (depending on size), cut, color, clarity, and fluorescence listed. Larger stones also have proportions and a plotting diagram. Colored stones have approximate or actual weight (depending on size), verbal color description, cut, color, tone, brilliancy, and clarity listed. All pieces and loose stones are digitally photographed, and the photograph of each piece is printed with its description. All appraisals are signed, legal documents that are only appropriate for their intended purpose (i.e. insurance, estate, etc.).
