Jewelry Appraisal Services

There are several different kinds of jewelry appraisals which depend on their intended use. The intended use of the appraisal report will determine the appropriate definition of value. The appropriate value needs to be based on the correct most common marketplace. All appraisals comply with USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Foundation) and the Code of Ethics of NAJA.
