Appraise and Identify Your Fine Jewelry

While determining the beauty of a piece of fine jewelry is simple, estimating its value is more complicated. Jewelry may have immeasurable sentimental worth, yet limited monetary value. A piece neglected at the bottom of a box can be worth thousands. Jewelry appraisals take the guesswork out of determining how much a piece is really worth.
