A jewelry appraisal identifies and evaluates a piece of jewelry, including a monetary valuation, whether for insurance, estate, or other financial or legal purposes. Jewelry appraisals need to be updated from time to time.
Gemstone grading reports identify and grade a stone and include a plot of the stone’s natural characteristics, but there is no monetary valuation given. As a result, a grading report never expires.
