WHY IS FMV LOWER
THAN MY INSURANCE APPRAISAL?

Insurance appraisals reflect retail replacement cost — what a jeweler would charge to remake the piece new today. FMV reflects the secondary market, which is typically 30-65% lower for most fine jewelry.

FAIR MARKET VALUE

What it's actually worth — not what a retailer would charge.

Fair market value appraisals document what your jewelry would sell for between a willing buyer and a willing seller — the correct standard for estate sales, tax purposes, charitable donation, equitable distribution, and resale planning. We apply current market comparables and transparent methodology to arrive at a supportable number that holds up to scrutiny.
