What Is The Purpose of an Appraisal?

A brief definition of a jewelry appraisal is to state specifically what types of materials are used in a particular article of jewelry as well as to state the insurance replacement value. Appraisals are usually completed shortly after the jewelry item is made into its final form. It is very helpful to receive an appraisal that way you know the carat size of the diamonds or precious gemstones that are used in an engagement ring or other piece of jewelry as well as the quality of the stones that are used. Also, the appraisal will state what type of metal is used to create the jewelry (example: 14k gold, 18k gold, platinum, etc.).

Customers normally get an item of jewelry appraised because they are interested in getting their jewelry insured. Engagement rings, diamonds, and other jewelry are normally very expensive items.

I went to Diamond Exchange to get an engagement ring for my fiancée - I couldn’t recommend a better jeweler in the Houston area! Leon is so knowledgeable and incredible to work with - kindly answered all of my questions throughout the process and delivered a perfect ring. Easy location to get to in Montrose - I would happily recommend anyone interested in high-quality, unique jewelry to come to Leon!

I can’t say enough about our experience with DEH! From our very first meeting to picking out my beautiful engagement ring, the entire experience was happy, joyous, and truly special.

Leon made me feel so comfortable throughout the process. He listened to all of my concerns and preferences and really took the time to make this experience with my husband one we’ll always remember. You truly can’t put a price on exceptional client service, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park!

I’m so happy with my ring upgrade, and they also refinished my husband’s wedding band, which now looks better than new. The quality of the stones and craftsmanship is absolutely beautiful.

Thank you, Leon and DEH, for making this such a memorable experience. It’s something I’ll always think about whenever I look at our beautiful rings. :)
