What to document first
Start by separating appraisal from sale. An appraisal explains value for a purpose; a buyer, dealer, or auction house is also considering resale margin, risk, and liquidity.
Gather metal marks, stone details, weights, measurements, certificates, receipts, prior appraisals, and clear photos before deciding where to sell.
Value factors
Value depends on identification evidence, condition, completeness, market demand, intended use, and whether the assignment requires a written report or initial screening.
No public market evidence are asserted here. Use verified sold records, specialist databases, and object-specific evidence before relying on any market range.
When to request an appraisal
Request a professional appraisal when the item may be insured, donated, sold, inherited, divided in an estate, or reported for tax purposes. Include photos and documentation so the appraiser can recommend the right level of review.
