At Christine's Jewellery, appraisals and gem identification are done on the premises by appointment, ensuring personalized and expert service.

There are several reasons to have your jewellery appraised. One primary reason is for insurance purposes, as an appraisal helps determine the value of your precious pieces. Additionally, an appraisal can help identify any damages, confirm the value of a piece, and provide a record in case the piece needs to be re-made due to loss or damage. At Christine's Jewellery, we understand the importance of protecting your investments and ensuring peace of mind.

The duration of a jewellery appraisal can vary depending on the complexity of the piece. However, at Christine's Jewellery, we strive to provide prompt and efficient service without compromising accuracy. Rest assured, your jewellery will be given the attention it deserves during the appraisal process.

A jewellery appraisal report includes detailed information about the authenticity, quality, and value of your piece.
