How do I
get an appraisal? To ensure the quality of your selections,
sndgems.com includes an insurance valuation document with every
purchase worth $2500.00 or more. We highly advise all our customers
take the cautionary step of insuring all diamonds and jewelry, and
this form will serve as notice of value and authenticity to present
to your insurance agent or company. Once an appraisal has been done
it is not the end of the story. Precious metals and precious stones
are commodities, with prices that fluctuate. It is important that you
have regular updates (every three to five years) to keep your
insurance coverage current. You can be assured that Sparkle N Dazzle
will provide you with all the information you need to make a jewelry
purchase with the utmost confidence. |

What Makes
a Good Appraisal? A jewelery appraisal is a complete
quantification and qualification of an item of jewellery. This
includes a description of the metal from which an item is made, the
way in which it is made, the shape it takes, and the content. This
description should be full of useful detail. The most important
aspect of an appraisal document is not the final value, it is the
thorough description which enables another professional to replace
the item if it is lost or stolen. A photo is handy, but it is no
substitute for a good description. The appraisal should clearly state
any limiting conditions. The appraiser has a responsibility to you,
the customer, to keep complete accessible records. |

Why an
Independent Laboratory? An independent appraiser has no vested
(personal or subjective) interest in the item you own or are buying.
The objective opinion you get as to the grading or replacement value
of an item by an independent appraiser is uncoloured by commercial
concerns such as buying or selling. The independent appraiser looses
that objectivity when he or she also sells. Beware of the appraiser
who will offer to do better for you than the jeweller who sold the
item to you in the first place; or who will suggest another jeweller
that you might go to for a "better deal". Not only is this
behaviour totally unethical, this "appraiser" obviously has
a serious vested interest, and his opinion of grade can hardly be
considered objective. |

Qualified,
certified professionals provide that assurance. All diamond jewelry
items over $2500 in value are appraised at no cost. Appraisals are
done by a third party independent and certified GIA gemologist. As
with all our jewelry, you can request an appraisal for an additional
$75 for lesser expensive merchandise, so you can be certain that your
jewelry has been evaluated by a trusted third party. |
