Fair Market Value Appraisals

FAIR MARKET VALUE APPRAISALS

Professional, independent jewelry valuations based on relevant market conditions and the intended purpose of the appraisal.

Legacy Jewelry Appraisers & Buyers provides professional Fair Market Value Appraisals for jewelry, diamonds, gemstones, luxury watches, precious metals, and estate collections. These appraisals may be appropriate for estate planning, equitable distribution, charitable donations, certain legal or financial matters, and other situations requiring an objective opinion of value.

Each appraisal is personally prepared by GIA Graduate Gemologist Gina Watson, bringing over 40 years of professional experience and a commitment to accuracy, independence, and confidentiality.

INDEPENDENT • OBJECTIVE • CONFIDENTIAL

Fair market value is different from the retail replacement value typically used for insurance purposes. The appropriate value depends on the purpose of the appraisal and the relevant market in which the property would reasonably change hands.

Gina carefully examines each item and provides professional documentation and an independent opinion of value appropriate to the intended use of the appraisal.

FAIR MARKET VALUE APPRAISALS MAY INCLUDE:

Detailed jewelry descriptions

Diamond and gemstone identification and grading

Precious metal verification

Measurements, weights, and quality characteristics

Professional digital photographs

Appropriate fair market value determination

Current market research when applicable

Comprehensive written appraisal documentation

Confidential private consultation

WHEN MIGHT YOU NEED A FAIR MARKET VALUE APPRAISAL?

A Fair Market Value Appraisal may be appropriate when jewelry or other valuable personal property needs to be documented and valued for estate planning, equitable distribution, charitable contributions, legal or financial matters, or other circumstances requiring an independent valuation.

Because the appropriate type of value depends on the intended use of the appraisal, Gina will discuss your specific needs with you before beginning the evaluation to help ensure the appraisal is prepared for the correct purpose.
