When to have a piece appraised?

Estate

Inventory and valuation of pieces in the course of an estate.

Division

Valuation for a fair division between heirs or beneficiaries.

Insurance

A documented replacement value to insure your pieces at the right amount.

Sale

An estimate of the likely hammer price before a piece is offered at auction.

How does the examination work?

Examination under the loupe and with instruments: stones, hallmarks, signatures. At the firm, at your home or in the bank vault. The appointment is confirmed once your file is reviewed; you will hear from us within two business days.

Does reviewing a file cost anything?

No. Sending a file and having it reviewed commit you to nothing: no fee is charged at this stage. Fees apply only if a sale takes place, and they are set out in writing with you before any piece is offered.
