We will provide exacting documentation used to establish the approximate retail replacement value of the item(s) to be insured. Our reports are acceptable by all insurance companies.
Artabella Jewelry Appraisals works closely with many attorneys handling probate cases. We understand the sensitive circumstances surrounding estate appraisals, and work quickly to document the fair market value of the items. When the estate is settled, we can assist in the equitable distribution to heirs, or the liquidation of the assets.
Artabella can help you determine if that new gem or piece of jewelry is what it was represented to be. There are many treatments and enhancements being performed on gems to make them look better. If you have, or are considering purchasing an important stone that does not have any laboratory report - it is a good idea to verify the authenticity and value of the stone.
