Do you know how much your diamond ring is worth? You should consider reaching out to a professional to find out. There are many reasons to get your ring appraised, including for insurance purposes or selling it. We’ll take a look at every step you need to know before going in for an appraisal. 

Why You Should Get Your Ring Appraised

There are a few big reasons why you should get your diamond ring appraised. Getting an appraisal can give you peace of mind and let you know exactly how much your ring is worth. 

You may have inherited a piece of jewelry from a loved one and are interested in knowing how much it's worth so you can decide to get it insured. Or you may have recently gotten engaged and want to protect the symbol of your love. It’s a good idea to get it insured to protect yourself if anything happens to it. A lot of things can go wrong in life. Diamonds can become loose in their settings, requiring repair. Your stone can get lost or stolen. With the right insurance, you can be protected for its full replacement value or get it repaired.  

Appraisals are especially important if you’re thinking of selling your diamond ring. You are going to need to know how much it’s worth so you get a fair price.
