Insurance Appraisal
The most common purpose of a jewelry appraisal is to establish insurance coverage. An insurance appraisal requires two essential components: a clearly defined value conclusion and a detailed item description.
Liquidation Appraisal
Liquidation appraisals address jewelry sold under time-constrained or forced-sale conditions, reflecting value based on immediate or expedited liquidation and limited marketing periods.
Diamond & Gemstone Appraisal
Diamond and gemstone appraisals provide comprehensive gemological analysis and market-based insight, evaluating the four Cs—color, clarity, cut, and carat weight—along with unique attributes that influence value.
On-Site Jewelry Appraisal
LexBrilliance offers professional on-site jewelry appraisals at the client’s location, including residences, offices, banks, or designated venues, supported by a fully equipped portable gemological laboratory for domestic and international engagements.
Trust & Estate Appraisal
For estate or trust appraisals, the scope of the assignment and the level of detail in the report are tailored to the specific requirements of the engagement.
Watch Appraisal
Watch appraisals provide professional evaluations of contemporary and antique timepieces, tailored to the intended use, including insurance scheduling based on Retail Replacement Value and secondary market valuations for resale, estate, or other purposes.
Resale Appraisals
For clients considering the sale of unworn jewelry, a resale appraisal offers an informed assessment of secondary market value and appropriate pricing expectations.
Divorce Appraisal
Divorce appraisals support the equitable division of jewelry assets and are typically based on Marketable Cash Value, defined as Fair Market Value less applicable selling costs and commissions, reflecting the net proceeds reasonably expected in the secondary market.
Damage/ Loss Appraisals
Damage or loss appraisals address jewelry that has been lost, stolen, or damaged and are prepared with detailed analysis and documentation to support insurance claim review and settlement.
