Jewelry Appraisal CenterDo 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 baguettes on either side)
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, necklaces, 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 on this website before you decide.
Whichever method you use, you might also like to add this query to my forum at http://www.online-jewelry-appraisals.net/jewelry-forum/ 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 because it is WAY cheaper than any other method and there is a BULK DISCOUNT if you are doing more than one item. A Win-Win Situation.
If not, you are going to have to get a qualified gemologist Appraiser to do them for you (expensive). But the good news is - You'll at least know then...
Hope this helps...

Jewelry hallmarks
Professional jewelry appraisals completed by gemologists and valuers often have to take into account the effect the jewelry hallmarks have on the value of each item being appraised. Do they alter the price, up or down, depending on the hallmark. The simple answer is yes – and no. It depends on the hallmarks themselves and where they come from.
I get similar questions on forums and ‘expert’ websites, together with my own members discussion group. They are usually in the following format, and in general the same questions get asked over and over again. They go… Continue reading Jewelry Hallmarks And What They Mean...
Most people when they imagine a pearl are picturing perfect large round spherical gems, creamy white in colour with a shimmery iridescent surface. The reality is that pearls are usually irregular in shape, each one is different and to find one that is completely round is almost unheard of, not to mention trying to make a whole necklace of pearls that are all more or less the same. Natural pearls are the rarest and most highly valued variety, but nowadays most pearl jewellery is made from cultured or farmed pearls, which are grown on pearl farms… Continue reading What are the Main Differences Between Freshwater and Saltwater Pearls?...
Name jewelry is one of the trendiest types of fashion accessory for both men and women. A large part of this modern upswing in popularity is due to the hip hop culture where large name jewelry items have become the defining fashion in bling. While much of the current fashion is large, bling-style pieces, name jewelry can range from delicate and subtle to big and bold. But name jewelry is also very popular as traditional mothers jewelry. Name rings and name necklaces are by far the most popular items with online stores and retailers… Continue reading Name Jewelry Trends...
