Appraisals

Working within the jewelry industry by buying and selling jewelry does not make one an appraiser, nor should appraising be treated as an inalienable right that comes with the job. Appraising is a profession, just as a doctor, lawyer, or CPA, where one must be educated and tested. At Arezzo Gioielleria, experience is what is important.

We are an IGI and GIA. GIA are rare because of the extremely stringent staffing requirements to qualify. A Certified Gemologist must be on staff at all times, and state-of-the-art gemological testing equipment is required for the lab to be accredited. Even today, there are a total of 2280 GIA Labs in all of North America. Arezzo Gioielleria, the Gemological Institute of America guarantees real protection for our customers against gemstones that might be artificially treated, dyed, or otherwise adulterated an increasingly common occurrence.

At Arezzo Gioielleria you will receive a complimentary appraisal on all bridal jewelry and any item priced over $5,000⁠, available upon request. We guarantee* your item will appraise for the Arezzo Gioielleria purchase price.

*Appraisal must be completed by an IGI/GIA Gemologist Appraiser. Appraisal must be completed within 100 days of the purchase price, as prices of precious metals and gemstones fluctuate, similar to the stock market. Excludes pre-owned jewelry, estate jewelry, and estate watches.

When should jewelry appraisals be updated?

Most insurers suggest updating appraisal values every three to five years. Many policyholders learn this too late – loss often occurs before appraisals are updated. This can make it difficult to receive the current value on the lost item.
