Jewellery Appraisal at Bonebakker – expertise, precision and heritage

A professional appraisal is essential for anyone who owns valuable jewellery, gemstones or silver objects. At Bonebakker Jewellers, we carry out these appraisals with the same care and precision with which we have crafted our jewellery since 1792. During the appraisal, our experts examine each piece meticulously, after which you receive a comprehensive appraisal report. This report serves as valid documentation for insurance purposes and provides an official valuation of your possessions.

The jewellery appraisal process

The appraisal process begins with a thorough inspection of the piece. Our appraisers analyse the materials, gemstones, wear, finish and any historical characteristics. For jewellery set with gemstones, we assess quality, clarity, cut, tension in the setting and possible damage. Antique jewellery is evaluated by style period, originality of components and any restorations. Every detail matters, as even small differences in wear, engraving or gemstone quality can influence the final value.

Each object is then photographed and documented. The appraisal report includes digital photos and a detailed description of the piece, including distinguishing features such as engravings, maker’s marks, gemstone certificates or historical details. This makes the report valuable not only for insurance purposes, but also for heirlooms that will be passed down for generations.
