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. Jewelry insurance is important to have especially on an expensive piece just in case the item is ever lost, stolen, or damaged. To get jewelry insurance you need to contact an insurance provider and they will normally require an appraisal that is done by an independent 3rd party GIA graduate gemologist GIA appraiser.
People often want to get their jewelry appraised before they sell it, however, this can lead to confusion. At Diamond Exchange Houston we are top diamond buyers and jewelry buyers and we often have to educate customers on the true value of their jewelry. The appraised value is normally a lot higher than the actual price of the jewelry purchased. Often, it can lead to major disappointment when a customer wants to sell their jewelry. If you have jewelry to sell and would like to get maximum value then contact Diamond Exchange Houston today about selling your jewelry on consignment.

My fiancé purchased a custom ring from Gili. He’s not a high pressure salesman and made sure my fiancé was getting what he wanted. Be sure to go to Gili to get the bling bling!

Stopped by on short notice with a last minute appointment but Nick and Gili still took their time helping me pick out the perfect engagement ring. I really appreciate these two guys and their hospitality during the entire process. Definitely will recommend to my friends and family for all their diamond needs.

If I could give more stars I would. Gil made the whole process of buying a diamond ring, which is a major expense so effortless. He was responsive to every text, sent additional pictures and answered all my questions. He had the ring polished, appraised for Insurance and sent Fed Ex overnight. All I can say is thank you for an amazing ring and transaction.

Don't go diamond shopping in the mall! You will get way more quality and peace of mind for your money buying from Diamond Exchange. Gili is extremely experienced and knowledgeable as he grew up in the diamond industry. We told them what we were looking for in advance, so they had several diamonds available to choose from. We were very pleased with our diamond and the whole experience! Highly recommended!!

Exceptional customer service! They made the jewelry purchase so pleasant pleasant. They were not pushy and allowed the jewelry to sell itself. They knew where the jewelry came from. A fantastic selection. A bench marked experience for sure.

Me toco ir a Houston Diamond Exchange por recomendación de un conocido. Estuve muy satisfecho con la atención y el servicio que nos proporcionó Gili. Amables, cordiales, y con muy buen servicio al cliente. El tiempo lo tenía encima pero, en unos pocos días estuvo listo el anillo. Fuimos a varios lugares para encontrar el anillo perfecto y por la calidad, precio, y servicio al cliente que recibí, no puedo estar más satisfecho. Les recomiendo ampliamente a Gili y a Diamond Exchange Houston. Por último, cabe destacar que hablan español.
