Estate Jewelry Appraisals in San Diego

C. Blackburn Jewelers of La Jolla offers estate jewelry appraisals on contemporary, vintage, and antique jewelry. We provide written appraisals for insurance purposes, certified written estate appraisals, and free verbal appraisals to customers who want to sell their fine jewelry or luxury timepieces.

An estate jewelry appraisal is often sought during an estate valuation before a divorce or after a loved one has passed away. It is a “fair market appraisal,” similar to the appraisal you might receive before selling your estate jewelry, except that appraisal is a free verbal cash quote, while a formal appraisal is paid for and in writing.  

Individuals also seek estate jewelry appraisals when they are organizing their wills and are uncertain of the value of certain items, such as large carat diamond rings (over 3 carats) or important pieces of vintage or antique jewelry that have been designed by a legendary jeweler such as Harry Winston, Cartier, or Tiffany & Co.

Our written estate jewelry appraisals for insurance policies, estate valuations, or other purposes are handled by a certified estate jewelry appraiser who owner Carl Blackburn has worked with for many years.

Our free verbal appraisals are handled directly by Carl himself at the store. You can rely on him for fast and highly accurate estate jewelry appraisals on items that you would like to sell. He is a 2nd generation estate jeweler who has been buying and selling estate jewelry since the 1980s.

Carl has appraised the value of thousands of pieces of estate jewelry from every important jewelry making period, including Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Retro. Contact him now to appraise your fine jewelry.
