Other reasons you may need a jewelry appraisal include estate and auction listings, settlements, and donations.

What Factors Influence Fine Jewelry Appraisals?
The quality of craftsmanship, condition, materials, aesthetics, and rarity are the factors affecting most fine jewelry appraisals. We consider the following when evaluating your estate jewelry:
Although beauty often lies in the eyes of the beholder, there are ways to measure the attractiveness of your jewelry. The colors, materials, design, size, cut, and style all influence how people value your jewelry’s appeal.
The materials used to craft the piece are also considered in the evaluation. Diamonds and stones are often evaluated by their color, cut, clarity, and quality craftsmanship. Natural, untreated gemstones may be deemed more valuable than others.
Jewelry may show signs of wear the older it is. The overall condition and age of your jewelry can affect its value.
Any alterations or repairs that have been done on pieces can affect their value. How well they are done may influence how a potential buyer would feel about them.
The rarer the precious metals and gemstones are in the piece, the more demand there is likely to be for your jewelry. Market values may fluctuate, so you may need to get your jewelry appraised at various times to get the most accurate reporting.
