Certified Appraisals
We are pleased to present you with a written appraisal with your purchase of any fine jewelry at our store.
A jewelry appraisal can be one of the most important documents you need to acquire. Appraisals are used by insurance companies, banks, courts and some government agencies. The appraisal must meet certain requirements for each purpose. The appraisal needs to be done by a recognized professional jeweler who can provide accurate information and documentation to the quality and value of the jewelry. The appraisal is an informed opinion given on the authenticity, quality, value and design of a gem or article of jewelry. The opinion is backed by the jeweler’s appraisal training, market experience, and gemological testing equipment.
With every appraisal your jewelry is cleaned, inspected, tested and each and every stone is measured. The current value is then carefully calculated. Professional appraisals require some time, generally 2-3days.
We will be happy to work with you and your insurance company to replace or rebuild your lost or stolen jewelry.
Insurance companies will require the retail replacement (new) value before they will insure jewelry beyond a certain dollar amount. This appraisal record is used by the insurance company to determine the insured amount for jewelry that is lost, damaged, or stolen.
A fair market value is often an estimate of what a willing buyer would pay to a willing seller, both in a free market, for an asset or any piece of property. If such a transaction occurs, then the actual transaction price is usually defined as the fair market value.
Homeowners and Rental tenants insurance policies commonly include coverage for personal property with the value of jewelry included up to a certain limit.
We recommend that you have an updated jewelry appraisal done at least every 3 years.
At Jewels by David Lloyd, we recommend you have all your jewelry Appraised and Insured properly!
Loose Diamonds
The most important considerations in choosing a diamond are quality and value.
Diamond jewelry is priced according to quality.
Diamonds can look similar and even have the same carat weight, but differences in quality can result in huge differences in price.
* You need to compare quality before you compare price.
Every diamond that we present at Jewels by David Lloyd for your consideration, has been screened for quality.
We also offer airtight resealing of diver's watches and water test them.
We have adopted a zero tolerance policy towards Conflict or Blood Diamonds—which are rough diamonds used by rebel movements to finance wars against legitimate governments. The trade in these illicit stones has enhanced decades of devastating conflicts in countries such as Angola, Cote d'Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sierra Leone.
In order to stem the flow of Conflict and Blood Diamonds, the United Nations has adopted a resolution in support of the The Kimberley Process which is now a joint initiative between many international administrative bodies, national governments (including the United Sates), worldwide industry and civil society.
The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme imposes extensive requirements on its members to enable them to certify shipments of rough diamonds as 'conflict-free'. As of December 2010, the KP has 49 members, representing 75 countries, with the European Community and its Member States counting as an individual participant. Kimberly Process members account for approximately 99.8% of the global production of rough diamonds. The legal duties imposed by the United Sates Congress in 2003, requires all US diamond retailers to purchase diamonds from manufacturers who have documentation certifying that the merchandise was obtained through legitimate channels.
We only purchase diamonds through suppliers who, like us, proudly adhere to and enforce the standards established by the Kimberley Process. If one of our suppliers was unable to produce documentation certifying compliance with the Kimberly Process, we would immediately cease doing business with that supplier.
