Fine jewelry can carry both money value and deep personal meaning. Yet many people do not know what their rings, necklaces, or family pieces are worth today. St. Amant Jewelers is holding a special jewelry appraisal event on September 18–19 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This two-day event gives you a simple way to learn the true value of your jewelry and get a clear written record for your needs. That record can be helpful if a piece is ever lost, stolen, or badly damaged.
Meet a Certified Master Appraiser
St. Amant Jewelers will welcome Certified Master Appraiser Sherry Kohlert for this special event. Her skill and training can help you get a fair, professional report for each piece. An appraisal looks at details that may affect value, such as the metal, gems, quality, age, and condition of the item. You may have a new engagement ring, an older piece from a family member, or jewelry you have owned for years. A current report gives you trusted facts instead of a guess. It also gives you a useful description of the item that you can keep with your other records.
Why a Current Appraisal Can Help
The value of gold, diamonds, and other gems can change over time. A report from many years ago may no longer show the right replacement value. A current jewelry appraisal in Metairie may help when you add a piece to an insurance policy or update your insurance records. Your insurer may ask for this report before adding special coverage for an expensive item. It can also be useful when planning an estate, sharing family items, or keeping records for the future. Even if you do not plan to sell your jewelry, knowing its value can help you make clear choices about how to protect and care for it.
What Jewelry Should You Bring?
You can bring pieces that have high money value, strong family meaning, or both. An engagement ring is a common choice because it is worn often and may cost a lot to replace. You may also bring a diamond necklace, gold bracelet, gemstone earrings, wedding band, or family piece. This event is also a good time to check inherited jewelry when little is known about its age or value. A piece does not have to look new or be in perfect shape to be appraised. Choose the items that matter most to you, since each appointment allows up to three pieces.
Bring Any Papers You Have
Bring the jewelry you want appraised along with any papers that came with it. Helpful items include previous appraisals, diamond or gemstone grading reports, certificates, and purchase receipts. You may also bring other records that share details about the piece. Do not worry if you no longer have these papers. The jewelry itself is still the main item needed for the appointment. Old records simply give the appraiser more background and may help explain where the piece came from or how it was described when it was bought.
Know the Appointment Cost
Each visit can cover up to three pieces of jewelry. The first appraisal costs $130, and the same amount is paid as a booking deposit when you choose your time. That deposit holds the appointment and pays for the appraisal of your first piece. A second piece costs $65, and a third piece costs $65. Those added fees are paid at the appointment. Clear pricing makes it easy to choose which pieces you want to bring before you arrive.
