Jewelry Appraisals

A Retail Replacement Value Appraisal estimates the cost to replace an item with a comparable one at current retail prices. Used mainly for insurance, it ensures coverage matches the price required to buy a new equivalent from a jewelry store or authorized dealer.

Unlike resale appraisals, which reflect secondhand market prices, retail replacement appraisals determine full replacement cost, factoring in brand, materials, craftsmanship, and condition. This ensures proper insurance coverage and claim support in case of loss, theft, or damage.

It’s essential to have your appraisal conducted by a trusted jewelry appraiser who specializes in retail replacement valuations. A qualified local appraiser will provide an accurate, up-to-date valuation based on regional and national market trends, ensuring your insurance policy reflects the true replacement cost. Working with an experienced professional, such as our team at Philadelphia Jewelry Appraisers, guarantees that your appraisal is detailed, widely recognized by insurers, and includes all necessary documentation for claims, policy adjustments, or legal purposes.
