Estate & Inheritance Appraisals

ESTATE & INHERITANCE APPRAISALS

Professional estate and inheritance appraisals provide independent valuations of jewelry, diamonds, gemstones, luxury watches, and family heirlooms for trusts, probate, estate planning, inheritance, and equitable distribution among family members.

We understand that settling an estate or dividing inherited jewelry can be both emotional and complex. GIA Graduate Gemologist Gina Watson provides confidential, professional guidance to help families, trustees, executors, and attorneys accurately document and value jewelry and other precious items.

Our comprehensive appraisal reports may include detailed jewelry descriptions, gemstone identification and grading, precious metal testing, photographs, and the appropriate valuation based on the intended purpose of the appraisal.

Whether you need to document an estate, establish values for inheritance purposes, divide jewelry among family members, or better understand a collection before deciding what to keep or sell, we provide personalized guidance throughout the process.
