Finding the right expert to have an antique piece of jewellery appraised

Even with a purchase invoice, it is still difficult to have an antique piece of jewellery valued at its current fair value. Auctioneers' estimates and other appraisals for insurance contracts are also limited to resell your jewel.

For a correct and up-to-date valuation of your jewel, reflecting the market value, you must first find the right expert. A jeweler or jeweler has the necessary equipment. Namely: a magnifying glass to read the hallmarks and guarantee hallmarks and a scale to weigh the jewel (to the nearest hundredth of a gram). To test the authenticity of the gold, he can use an acid tester, a touchstone or a white spectrum light.

Have a piece of jewellery appraised with the help of laboratories

If necessary, the jeweler will be able to send the jewel to the laboratory for further further examinations. Especially when the jewel is set with precious stones. In any case, a jeweler will rarely buy your jewelry back. If you want to value your antique jewellery to resell it, you will have to contact a different type of specialist.
