At Rogers Jewelry in Quincy, Massachusetts, we make it easy to get a trustworthy, certified appraisal from a qualified gemologist—with no pressure to sell.
Why You Need a Professional Jewelry Appraisal
A diamond or fine jewelry appraisal provides more than just a price—it offers peace of mind. Whether you're handling an estate, settling a divorce, or updating your insurance, a certified appraisal ensures:
-
Accurate, current market value
-
Proof of ownership and authenticity
-
A fair basis for resale or insurance claims
-
Protection from undervaluation or scams
Online Diamond Appraisals vs. In-Person: What to Know Before You Click
Online appraisals may be convenient, but they often rely on photos or generic algorithms. This can result in misleading or inaccurate valuations. Here's why in-person appraisals are more reliable:
| Online Appraisals | Rogers Jewelry In-Person Appraisals |
|---|---|
| Based on photos or estimates | Based on full inspection with lab tools |
| No certification or guarantee | Conducted by GIA-trained gemologist |
| No physical stone testing | Full diamond and gem testing process |
| Not accepted for insurance | Insurance-ready written documentation |
When it comes to valuable pieces, trust experience—not a screen.
