As professional jewelry appraisers, we charge for our services based upon an hourly rate or a per-item fee.  We do not charge by a percentage of the appraised value. 

 

   Our fees are based on the amount of work necessary, the complexity of the items and the required research to complete a fully comprehensive report, or for a contracted amount based on an estimate of the time involved. We are more than happy to provide an estimate at the time you set up your appraisal appointment. For your peace of mind, all fees will be firmly established at your appointment before the appraisal is performed.
