Here's a quick tip: the diameter of a No. 2 pencil eraser is about the same size as a one carat, round-brilliant diamond. If you can measure your gemstone, be sure to visit "Antique and Collectible Jewelry" posts page. Diana Sanders Cinamon is a published author and personal property appraiser. She has written two books, one about antique silver the other about antique jewelry.
There are different types of personal property and different types of appraisals. Since Insurance and estate requirements vary, the appraiser will first determine which items need to be appraised. With Specialty Appraisals you only pay for what you actually need. The appraisal inventory is conducted by a certified personal property appraiser in the privacy of your home, business, or storage locker. A portable gem lab is used for jewelry appraisals. Your jewelry is weighed, measured, and graded while you watch.
12-1997 to current: Specialty Appraisals - owner and personal property appraiser, providing certified appraisal services for antiques, fine art, jewelry, antique silver, coins, and household contents. Ms. Cinamon also provides many types of appraisals including Insurance appraisals, estate appraisals, and donation appraisals.
Consumers are often surprised to learn that anyone can say they are a personal property appraiser. Appraising institutions and educational institutions certify and accredit personal property appraisers, not the government. A certified appraiser receives this designation from a private institution. This is different from real estate appraisers who are required to certify through the Appraisal Foundation, along with state and federal licensing.
You can also try Craig's List to sell heavy items in the local market as they might be difficult or expensive to ship. There is a lot of information on this web site to help you identify and value your items before you list them for sale. We have an entire page devoted to fine art, prints and fine art appraisals on the Appraise-it-yourself page of this web site.
