You have the option to drop off your items to be appraised, but we
recommend that you wait until our services are completed.

How often do I have to appraise my jewellery?
We
recommend that you update your appraisal every three to five years,
depending on the supply and demand of your gemstone, its size and its
quality.
PLEASE
NOTE
- Changing your insurance company may result in
immediate updating of the appraisal, in order for
your jewellery
to be covered by the new insurer.
6.
I'm having my ring repaired, how can I be sure that I'm getting
the same diamond back?
We
recommend having your diamond plotted. A plot
is a diagram of your
diamond's inclusions which are located in specific regions in your diamond.
No two diamonds have the same inclusions in those locations. Therefore,
a plot is like a fingerprint. After the repair, any gemologist will be
able
to I.D. your diamond.
