How do I protect my gift/inheritance of jewelry?
Jewelry is quite a welcome and precious gift to receive. You may not know where the jewelry was purchased, when it was purchased, nor its cost. To protect your new property, it is important to have it promptly appraised by a professional.
Old jewelry in particular must be inspected for wear and tear. Old or new, the value of the jewelry has to be determined so that you can decide whether or not to have it insured, and for just the right amount.
Statistically, over the past 10 years, diamond prices went up by 20% to 60%! This is why it is imperative to have your jewelry re-appraised by a professional appraiser every 3 to 5 years.
