​

At Smythe & Cross Fine Jewelry, we understand that fine jewelry is not only a symbol of beauty but also a valuable asset. Whether for insurance, estate planning, or personal documentation, our expert appraisal services provide accurate and detailed evaluations to ensure your jewelry is properly valued and protected.

​

We offer a complimentary initial consultation to determine the type of appraisal you need and to assess which pieces warrant formal documentation. Our appraisals are conducted with precision, utilizing industry-leading standards to provide clear, professional reports for your records.

​

Our appraisals are prepared by independent experts with graduate degrees in gemology and accreditation from esteemed industry associations.

​

Our Appraisal Services Include:

  • Insurance Replacement Documentation – Official reports with detailed descriptions, photographs, and valuations to assist with insurance coverage.

  • Estate Evaluation – Professional assessments for estate planning, probate, and equitable distribution.

  • Diamond & Gem Reports (GIA) – Comprehensive analysis of diamonds and gemstones, including cut, clarity, color, and carat weight, following GIA standards.

  • Gem Identification – Expert identification and verification of gemstones, including origin and treatment analysis.

 

We recommend having your jewelry appraised every 3–5 years to ensure accurate valuations for insurance coverage.

 

Please note: Although we do not offer immediate or verbal appraisals, we will make every effort to complete your appraisal as quickly as possible.
