LIMITING CONDITIONS
Replacement value is the current value for which an item may be purchased in a jewelry store engaged in the business of selling comparable merchandise. Unless indicated, we have not removed any gems.
Diamonds are graded for the three quality factors of cutting, color & clarity according to the American Gem Society diamond grading standards. Each of these quality factors is rated on a scale of 0 to 10 with 0 being the best possible grade for that particular quality factor. No diamond may be assigned a grade of 0 for any quality factors unless it is examined un-mounted. Mounted diamonds are given a provisional grade in each of the quality factors.
Unless otherwise stated, all colored stones listed on this appraisal report is assumed to have been subjected to a permanent & in most cases undetectable color enhancement process. Prevailing market values are based on these processes, which are universally practiced & accepted by the gem & jewelry trade.
Mountings prohibit the full & accurate evaluation of gemstones. All measurements & weights are approximate unless gemstones have been removed from mountings. Identification of metals & methods of construction are determined only to the extent that the design permits.
The values expressed are based on the current information available at the date of the appraisal & the appraiser’s judgment & opinion. It is not a representation or warranty that the items will realize those values if offered for sale.
Rendering this appraisal does not require testimony or attendance in court or at any other hearing. The appraiser will try to accommodate arrangements made a reasonable time in advance. Compensation will be at our customary hourly rate.
