This is often described as an Estate Appraisal, which assigns value to a piece of jewelry that is more in line with current pricing conditions and liquidity potential. Estate jewelry is often appraised to facilitate a quick sale, or to help divide property for an Estate. An Estate Appraisal is based on fair market value, that is, the price an item can bring from a willing buyer and seller without a forced sale and where time is not of the essence.

In order to protect your fine jewelry, sterling silver, flatware, holloware, estate items, diamonds, crystal, china and collectibles your insurance companies requires an additional rider on your existing policy. These riders are considered "Scheduled Property", and additional premiums may be applied. This is a listed value your insurance company will pay up to for scheduled items. Check your individual policy. The listed value on your appraisal(s) is used to set a ceiling on the amount that the insurance under writer will spend up to replace or duplicate your jewelry or item. The value for claims purposes will be determined at the time of loss. Your detailed appraisal will ensure that the replacement is of equal quality to your original items.
Appraisals over three (3) years old should be re-appraised, because values have changed. Gold, silver and gems have gone up. If loss does occur, insurance is limited to your stated value listed on the appraisal. The company may tell you are under insured, even if you have guaranteed replacement on your home owners. These items are scheduled to a specific amount only, that is what you are paying for. Please remember that even though you may have these policies, you are not covered for loss or damage unless you have your jewelry appraised and scheduled separately and submitted to your insurance company.
