Accurate jewelry appraisals safeguard your valuables
Jewelry is always one of the beneficial forms of investment. That is why they are precious to you. But if you actually are ignorant of what value your precious investment has its futile to make such investments. With today's competitive market place, customers have many choices and if you need to sell your jewelry, you must make the price not only competitive, but attractive. Therefore an appraisal is must. Among the many reasons for jewelry appraisals these are some which include the following: 1. In case of fire or theft establishes its replacement value for your insurance company. 2. To establish a current market value for estate purposes. 3. To determine true value and authenticity of jewelry offered for purchase. 4. Accounting for fluctuating metal prices and increasing rarity of precious gems for appraisals of which have become outdated.
Jewelry lab certificates and appraisals often go hand in hand, but the lab certificate is a document that describes information about an unmounted gem stone, like a diamond that has not been set into any piece of jewelry, while the appraisal provides detailed information on the market value of a piece of jewelry, whether it is unmounted or already set as a ring, earrings, or necklace for example.
The foremost consideration for acquiring accurate jewelry appraisals is selecting a trained and experienced gemologist who can appraise your jewelry to clearly establish its value. The appraiser should have knowledge of precious metals and alloys as well as the methods of manufacturing and the costs involved. Furthermore, the person must be familiar with current market prices of gemstones especially when you are going for a diamond appraisal. A good appraiser includes photos of the jewelry item.
With an eye for quality and a commitment to the state-of-the-art technology, there are many authentic diamond certification companies which offer certified gemological and fine jewelry appraisal services that exemplify the very highest gemological standards in the industry. Whether you're curious about your diamond's market value; you're shopping for the perfect ring for your loved one or you're planning to insure a precious heirloom, be certain by consulting a legit and experienced one.
Getting an appraisal is wise financial protection and it is much easier to get an accurate appraisal if the loose diamond is inspected before it is set in the ring. If you are taking a diamond to an appraiser for a pre-purchase inspection, tell the appraiser you want an opinion now and a full appraisal later after the diamond has been set. Hopefully that will be less expensive than getting two full appraisals. If you are selling a diamond you might request an appraised value to help you determine where to set your asking price.
To accurately examine a diamond requires special tools that are usually only available with a professional who works with diamonds. They can weight, measure and examine the diamond under a microscope much easier when the diamond is loose. Since companies only accept an appraisal for an item of jewelry, not a loose diamond, the appraiser needs to see the finished item.

Loose Gemstones: A Smart Buy for Jewelry
Today there are more than 100 different colored gemstone varieties offered in the market. But if you visit your local jeweler you will typically find they stock jewelry with only a short list of gem types, such as ruby, sapphire, emerald, blue topaz, pyrope garnet, tanzanite, opal and aquamarine.
The reason that retail jewelers stock only a small number of colored stones is that many varieties are in short supply and there is simply not enough material to supply the retail channel. Natural spinel, for example, is one of the favorites of gem dealers for its superb brilliance and fire. But spinel is rarely found in retail jewelry stores due to the shortage of supply. You are also unlikely to find natural zircon, tsavorite and spessartite garnet, alexandrite or chrome or rubellite tourmaline in retail outlets.
But the lack of variety in jewelry stores is not the only reason to buy loose gemstones from a specialized gem dealer. In fact the quality of the colored stones in commercial jewelry is usually low, even in high priced items from very reputable retailers. The reason is that the retailer's focus is on the jewelry, not on the gemstone. While he may have ruby rings, for example, the rubies are very likely to be fracture-filled African rubies, not fine Burmese rubies. The reality of the gemstone market is that the jewelry manufacturer could not produce a line of ruby rings with fine rubies, unless very small stones, simply because it is so difficult to source enough quality rubies to produce hundreds (let alone thousands) of rings.
If you want to buy finer natural gemstones, especially untreated stones, you will do much better by consulting a specialized gems dealer. You will also have a much greater selection of colors, cuts and sizes, since the gem dealer's stock is much larger than the jeweler's. Higher end gem dealers will also routinely offer certification from recognized gemological laboratories for the stones they sell; this is not yet customary in the retail jewelry business, except for diamonds.
Experienced gemstone buyers also know that it is much safer to buy a loose stone than one already set in jewelry. Jewelry settings can hide inclusions in a gem and even change the color of the stone. Valuable gems should always be evaluated unmounted, and gemological labs prefer to do their testing on unmounted stones.
Finally, when you buy a high quality loose gemstone for a custom piece of jewelry, both the gem and the jewelry setting will be an expresson of your personal taste. Creating a unique one-a-kind piece of jewelry that can be worn with pride and handed down to your children is an experience not to be missed.
