Jewelry Appraisal
Pavé Jewelers is proud to offer an extensive range of jewelry appraisal services, however we do not offer appraisals on costume jewelry, plated jewelry, wooden jewelry, clocks, silverware, art, or china. Appraisals for replacement valuation and/or insurance purposes for fine jewelry and watches only. Our methods are simple and transparent; we analyze and calculate appraisal values by factoring in the average average of wholesale, retail and/or msrp of prices for diamonds, gemstones, labor, metal, casting, and design fees. For secondary market values (i.e. you wanting to sell your jewelry), please visit our Sell My Jewelry page to receive an accurate quote.
If the costs and timelines below seem reasonable to you, we invite you to schedule an appointment.

Jewelry Insurance Tip
Pavé Jewelers does not sell jewelry insurance as it would be a conflict of interest. We personally use and recommend Jewelers Mutual for our business and personal insurance. We have found that they are the best in their industry and it is always better to work with an expert than group precious and priceless items under general insurance policies. To get a quote from Jewelers Mutual please visit: Perfect Circle Insurance and enter A01803 for the jeweler code. It may also be worth while checking other insurance providers for similar coverage. The fine print matters more than the nominal cost in annual savings.
