Appraisals for appriaslasIt is important to have your jewelry appraised in case of loss or theft.  Jewelry is not automatically covered on most homeowner’s insurance policies and often must be listed as separate items with the value based on an appraisal performed by a qualified professional.  Due to the fluctuating value of metal and gemstones, we recommend having your jewelry appraised every three to four years.  At Jewels That Dance, we offer you the services of a certified gemologist.  Fees are relative to the amount of time required to appraise
