I was in dire need of an appraisal for my father's mobile home, which he needed for Medicaid approval. I couldn’t find anyone to do it for a long time, but then I found this company online and decided to give them a try. I’m so glad I did. They were wonderful to work with. I sent the pictures, and within just a few days I received the appraisal. They are absolutely worth the money.

The appraisal was done very well. Since he was a local artist here in Charleston, SC, they took the time to study and review Jim Booth’s art. His work has made him extremely famous, which can make an appraisal challenging, but they did a superb job and clearly explained how they arrived at the appraisal value. I highly recommend Appraise It Now and will use them again for all my artwork.

These guys were phenomenal. Joe was very responsive and gave clear instructions on how to submit my information for the appraisal, which he completed in a very quick timeframe. The appraisal itself was extremely detailed and included a thorough explanation of how they arrived at the value. It came with extensive documentation, and it’s clear they did a significant amount of research. They were also very responsive through text and email and always available to answer any questions. I had them appraise my fifth-wheel RV for resale, and I highly recommend their services. I will definitely use them again.

It is a pleasure to work with Joe and his team. They communicate every step along the way and made the process simple for us to have more than 35 firearms appraised. It was all done in a timely manner and the final report is easy to understand. I highly recommend their services.

I was very happy with the work put in on my totaled car appraisal. They did the appraisal quickly and VERY thoroughly. I felt like my insurance company gave a very low appraisal and Appraise It Now was very competitive, realistic and true to my expectations. The best part was they did a stellar job negotiating with my insurance company. I feel great about their work.

I was very pleased with the service from AppraiseItNow. They responded quickly, offered fair pricing and turnaround, and the appraisal was done by a highly qualified expert. I provided details, photos, and records, and the final report was exactly what I needed. Fantastic service. I’d definitely use them again.

Very thorough and professional — great communication and outstanding service. Highly impressed with their work!

AppraiseItNow Inc. is the best company I was lucky to find by accident. I was looking for someone to appraise cabinets for a donation to charity. I asked for multiple referrals, called multiple appraisal services, etc., and no one could help me. I found AppraiseItNow and from the moment I started working with them, they were wonderful! Joe guided me on what I needed to send him, what needed to be done and stayed in touch with me the entire time. Their customer service is OUTSTANDING and a welcome surprise in today’s world where good customer service is an anomaly! They returned an appraisal in a timely manner, it was clear, concise, cost-effective and exactly what I needed. They followed up with me multiple times to ensure that I received it and everything was OK. My CPA is also thrilled to have them as an accredited appraisal service he can use for other clients. I rarely leave reviews, but I could not pass giving them 5 stars and I’d give 10 if possible! THANK YOU JOE AND ALL AT APPRAISEITNOW!!👊🏼

We were amazed at their professionalism in working with us and the quality of the final appraisal report. And all for thousands less than other appraisers.

I asked AppraiseItNow to value a piece of sports memorabilia for purposes of a charitable donation. The item is rarely sold. Their research unearthed an important recent sale of a similar item, which I had not found previously, and which the first appraiser I used had not found either. AppraiseItNow was a good deal more expensive than the first service, but they crafted a detailed report in which I have much more confidence. They also helped me make sure the correct tax forms are used. Thank you!

What is an Engagement Ring appraisal?

An engagement ring appraisal is a meticulous professional assessment that unveils the comprehensive value and characteristics of this cherished piece of jewelry. Conducted by certified gemologists or professional appraisers, this process goes beyond a simple monetary evaluation, offering a deep dive into the ring's intricate details and inherent worth.

The appraisal involves a comprehensive examination of multiple critical elements. Experts carefully analyze the diamond or gemstone using precise grading techniques, evaluating its cut, clarity, color, and carat weight with exacting standards. The metal composition receives equally rigorous scrutiny, with professionals determining its purity, quality, and overall condition.

This detailed process serves multiple important purposes beyond simple valuation. It provides crucial documentation for insurance protection, helps track the ring's market value over time, and offers definitive proof of the piece's authenticity and quality. The resulting professional documentation becomes a valuable asset for owners, potentially aiding in future insurance claims, estate planning, or potential resale considerations.

The evaluation encompasses more than just technical specifications. Skilled appraisers consider the ring's craftsmanship, design intricacies, and overall condition, creating a holistic assessment that captures both the tangible and intangible qualities of this significant piece of jewelry. Each appraisal becomes a comprehensive snapshot of the ring's unique characteristics, providing owners with valuable insights and peace of mind about their treasured possession.

What are the different types of Engagement Ring appraisals?

Engagement ring appraisals require specialized expertise across different professional domains. Each type of appraiser brings unique skills and perspectives to evaluating these precious pieces of jewelry:

Gemologists are technical specialists focused exclusively on stone quality. These professionals possess deep scientific knowledge about diamonds and gemstones, meticulously analyzing characteristics like cut precision, color nuances, clarity grades, and carat weight. Their certifications from respected organizations enable them to provide extremely detailed stone-specific assessments.

Jewelry appraisers take a holistic approach, examining the entire ring beyond just the gemstone. They evaluate overall craftsmanship, design complexity, metalwork quality, and comprehensive material value. Their expertise spans both contemporary and vintage ring styles, making them versatile in understanding different jewelry periods and design techniques.

Certified appraisers represent the most formally trained professionals in the field. Accredited by professional organizations, they combine technical gemological knowledge with sophisticated valuation methodologies. Their documentation meets rigorous insurance and legal standards, providing authoritative evaluations that can withstand professional scrutiny.

Retail appraisers typically work within jewelry stores, offering assessments primarily for pieces they sell. While knowledgeable about their inventory, their evaluations might carry inherent bias. Consumers seeking objective assessments often prefer independent professionals who have no direct sales connection to the piece.

Specialized antique and vintage ring appraisers focus on historical context and rare craftsmanship. These experts understand nuanced design evolution, can identify period-specific manufacturing techniques, and assess how age and historical significance impact a ring's intrinsic and market value. Their expertise is particularly crucial for evaluating inherited or collector-quality engagement rings.

Why get an Engagement Ring appraisal?

An engagement ring represents far more than a mere piece of jewelry—it's a cherished symbol of love and commitment with significant financial implications. An accurate, professional appraisal provides critical insights and protection for this treasured possession across multiple dimensions.

Insurance is often the primary motivation for obtaining an appraisal. Precise documentation ensures comprehensive coverage against potential loss, theft, or damage. Without an accurate valuation, individuals risk inadequate compensation during unexpected circumstances, potentially losing both the emotional and financial investment.

Estate planning represents another crucial consideration. Accurately documenting the ring's value becomes essential for equitable inheritance distribution and potential tax planning. Detailed appraisals provide clear, legally defensible documentation that can simplify complex estate management processes and minimize potential familial disputes.

While less frequently discussed, potential resale scenarios also benefit from professional appraisals. Understanding the current market value empowers owners with transparent, credible information should they choose to sell or transfer ownership. An authenticated valuation provides confidence during negotiation processes and protects against undervaluation.

The intangible benefit of peace of mind cannot be overstated. Knowing the precise value of a significant personal asset offers reassurance and clarity. Professional appraisals transform an emotional investment into a well-documented, financially understood asset that can be protected, preserved, and potentially passed down through generations.

An engagement ring appraisal transcends simple monetary assessment—it represents a comprehensive approach to protecting a deeply personal and financially significant possession.

Can an Engagement Ring appraisal be done online?

In today's digital landscape, online engagement ring appraisals have become increasingly accessible and convenient. The process typically begins with submitting high-quality, detailed photographs of the ring accompanied by comprehensive information about its specific characteristics. These details may include carat weight, cut, color, clarity, and any existing documentation like previous appraisals or gemological certificates.

Professional appraisers utilize advanced digital assessment techniques to evaluate the ring's attributes remotely. This method allows for a thorough examination without requiring an in-person visit. Clients can expect to provide multiple angles of the ring, clear close-up images of key details, and any supporting documentation that helps establish the piece's provenance and value.

Many appraisal services now offer interactive online options, including live video consultations through platforms like Zoom or Google Meet. These virtual sessions enable real-time communication with professional appraisers, allowing for immediate questions, detailed discussions, and more nuanced evaluation of the engagement ring's unique qualities.

The online appraisal approach combines technological efficiency with professional expertise, providing a streamlined alternative to traditional in-person assessments. Clients can receive comprehensive valuations from the comfort of their home, with the added benefit of professional-grade analysis and precise documentation.
