Vancouver Jewellery Appraisals

Our Process

How We Appraise Your Jewellery

Detailed, in-house work that ensures accuracy, security, and clarity.

Our process is simple, careful, and done entirely in-house. Each piece is cleaned, photographed, and professionally tested before we document all key details and assess its current market value. We take the time to get it right, so you leave with a clear, accurate report you can rely on.

Our Process

Careful, Transparent, and Done On-Site

Initial
Review

We review your item and learn the purpose of the appraisal, whether it’s for insurance, resale, or estate planning. This helps us tailor the report to what you actually need.

Cleaning & Preparation

Each piece is carefully cleaned so we can properly assess its condition, materials, and gemstone quality. This step ensures nothing is missed during grading.

Testing
& Grading

Using gemmological tools, we identify metals, evaluate gemstones, and assess quality. Diamonds and gemstones are graded based on industry standards.

Creating Documentation

We record all details including materials, weights, measurements, gemstone characteristics, and overall condition. Every specification is clearly documented.

Final Valuation Report

You receive a report with descriptions, photos, and an estimated value based on the current market. Reports are accepted by insurance providers and easy to understand.
