Do Jewelry Values Increase Over Time Question: Hi, I have a marquis cut diamond ring set in white gold with a carat weight of 1.20.

It is described as "fine" in clarity and cut. (it also has baquettes on either side)

Diamond Ring Buying Guide: How to Evaluate, Identify and Select Diamonds & Diamond Jewelry (6th Edition)

Price: $8.72

I have an appraisal dated from around 1963 that valued it at 1,000.

Do you think that the price would go up since then? Or do you think it wouldn't have changed much.

Thanks! Amber

P.S. I also have many many other pieces (some gold and opal pieces, old pins, neclaces, earrings etc) that I've inherited that I would really like to find the value of.

The only problem is that appraisers I've spoken to charge by the piece.

Do you think I could find someone who would give me a reasonable price to appraise the whole lot?

Thanks again...

Answer: G'day Amber and many thanks for your query.

The simple answer is - YES - Yes - and yes again...

Don't stop, run, get it done as soon as possible as I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised.

However; how you get an appraisal is your next problem.

Your local FRIENDLY jeweler may be able to help, but a qualified Gemologist Appraiser would be better. But they cost one heck of a lot more.

If you have the original details from your old appraisal you could do it yourself online by simply filling in an easy multiple choice form, and printing the certificate from there.

It's quick, easy and very cost effective. I know - I wrote the program

You can find the Online Jewelry Appraisal Center right here, so start at STEP 1 and look at everything before you decide.

Whichever method you use, you might also like to add this query to my blog at http://how2valuejewelry.com/ as other may have had a similar problem. Can't hurt anyway and who knows what answers you may get.

With regards your P.S. - The world standard is 1 item for 1 certificate for 1 fee. It's the same everywhere.

Again if you have the original receipts or old Valuation Certificates - Do-it-yourself using our Jewelry Appraisals Online system. If not, you are going to have to get a qualified gemologist Appraiser to do them for you. The good news is - You'll at least know then...

Hope this helps...
