Shopping Local Gives Back

Choosing to shop at a local, independent jewelry retailer not only gives you the best service and selection, but it also gives back to the community. More money spent at local jewelry stores goes straight back into the local economy than money spent at chain retailers. When you visit a jewelry store in your community, your purchase directly impacts your neighbors and creates a stronger community. Local jeweler are also uniquely in tune with the events in your community, such as graduation dates, and can cater to the direct needs of the patrons in their area.

Jewelry and Estate Appraisals

Your local jewelry store can provide you with fine jewelry appraisals for insurance purposes or give you a fair market value price for estate purposes. Jewelry should be evaluated every two to three years to guarantee its true value is covered by your insurance. Otherwise, it may rise in value over 20% per year depending on the appreciation rate of diamonds, gold, and other colored gemstones, leaving your purchase underinsured. In the case of an estate settlement, knowing the fair market value of your pieces of fine jewelry is important for equitably dividing assets. Regardless of where your jewelry is from, your local jeweler can give you a certified appraisal for your use in any legal or insurance processes.
