Jewelry Appraisal Services

Getting your jewelry appraised is never a bad idea, and it can be a great way to know the true value of your jewelry. An appraisal is only as good as the appraiser. At Lester Lampert, our appraisal team based in Chicago has the credentials and experience to provide accurate documentation of your jewelry and watches.

We have Graduate Gemologists on staff to properly identify and grade your diamonds and colored stones. The variables in pricing are often found in the minute differences in cut, clarity, carat weight and color. Proper credentials in this area will ensure that any insurance replacements are of equal quality and value.

The current market value of brand name watches and designer jewelry collections are best understood and recognized by upscale retail jewelry boutiques, such as ours, who have daily exposure to brand pricing and variables.

As a retail jeweler that also manufactures, we have the knowledge to define the subtle differences in the fabrication styles, setting styles and overall quality of your jewelry.

The analysis of estate jewelry requires special expertise in jewelry history and techniques. Often the value of these items is a blend of artistry and precious materials. As jewelry professionals well versed in antique jewelry and design, we are equipped to properly evaluate your estate jewelry.

One of the most common reasons most people have their jewelry appraised is for insurance purposes. If your jewelry is ever lost, stolen, or destroyed due to a natural disaster or other means, then your insurance companies needs to know how much to reimburse you that way you can replace your jewelry.

Another common reason many people get their jewelry appraised is after a family member has left them with their own jewelry. If you have inherited jewelry of any kind, it probably is a good idea to have it appraised to know its value.
