Why You Need A Jewelry Appraisal

Insurance companies have two ways to cover a piece of jewelry’s value: as a scheduled or unscheduled item. Any jewelry item valued over $1,000 should have an appraisal. Diamonds require certification with a grading report indicating the quality and value of the diamond. This leaves less room for interpretation should the item ever need to be replaced. Homeowner’s or rental insurance policies generally cover unscheduled jewelry, although this amount is limited.
