Documentation you can file

Certified appraisals for insurance, estate, and informed resale decisions

Independent written reports from a specialist with more than twenty years in the trade, tailored to the use case you describe.

Appraisal services overview

An appraisal captures researched opinion value for a stated purpose and date-distinct from a live purchase bid. We separate those roles so carriers, attorneys, and family members see unambiguous documentation.

Bring laboratory reports, legacy invoices, or nothing but the piece itself; we build the file methodically and explain how condition and market snapshots influenced the conclusion.

Appraisal FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What types of written appraisals does Goldmine Exchange prepare?

We focus on clear, certified-style reporting suited to insurance scheduling, estate awareness, or resale context. Tell us the intended use so the narrative matches what your carrier or advisor expects.

How long does it take to receive a completed appraisal document?

Simple items may move quickly; complex suites or multi-stone work can take longer when research is warranted. You will get an estimated completion window when you book.

Can I use your appraisal for homeowners insurance or estate planning?

Many clients rely on our documentation for insurance and family planning, but carrier rules vary. Share your policy or attorney guidelines and we will confirm fit—or recommend adjustments.

What records should I gather before an appraisal appointment?

Prior appraisals, laboratory reports, invoices, repair tickets, and provenance notes all strengthen the file. If you have nothing but the piece itself, we still proceed methodically.

Is an appraisal the same thing as an offer to buy my jewelry?

No. An appraisal documents researched opinion for a stated purpose; a purchase offer is a separate commercial bid. We keep the two roles distinct so there is no confusion of value.

Do you appraise an entire estate collection in one engagement?

Yes—collections can be staged as a single project with inventory-style reporting or itemized schedules, depending on scope and your counsel’s preference.
