Start with the purpose of your appraisal
An insurance appraisal, an estate valuation and an offer to buy your jewelry answer different questions. Tell us how you plan to use the report so we can confirm the service and documentation you need.
An insurance appraisal, an estate valuation and an offer to buy your jewelry answer different questions. Tell us how you plan to use the report so we can confirm the service and documentation you need.
Bring your jewelry or watch, any earlier appraisals, receipts and available grading reports to Diamonds By Raymond Lee in Boca Raton. If an insurer or another professional has requested the appraisal, bring their requirements too.
We can discuss the item, the purpose of the valuation, the fee and the expected completion time before you proceed. A replacement value for insurance is different from the price a buyer may offer for a used piece.
If you are considering a sale instead, explore our jewelry buying service or watch buying service.
The purpose of the report determines the information and valuation needed.

I had a wonderful experience with Diamonds by Raymond Lee! The customer service was truly excellent from start to finish. The entire staff is friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. A special thank you to Donna, who assisted us with an appraisal—she was absolutely fantastic to work with.

Worked with Dan on getting our Certified Pre-Owned Rolex appraised for insurance purposes. Very knowledgeable about Rolex and luxury watches in general. Beautiful showroom and excellent service. Will return again to service other watches and potentially buy something in the near future.

Brought in one of my watches to get fixed and serviced. One of their sales associates helped me, they were very friendly and knowledgeable.I then needed another watch appraised and Hunter took care of me. They really went above and beyond! Highly recommended, great customer service.

Timing depends on the item, the number of pieces and the research required. Ask for an expected completion date after the initial review.
Ask your insurer which appraisal details and appraiser qualifications it requires. Share those requirements with us before the appointment so we can confirm whether we can provide the requested report.
You do not need to clean it yourself. Let us assess the materials and condition first. Some stones and settings are unsuitable for ultrasonic or steam cleaning.
We can discuss the condition and any recommended repair separately. Ask for a repair estimate and approve any work before it begins.
Contact us with the brand and model before your visit. Bring any available box, papers, receipts and service records so we can confirm the scope of the appointment.
Ask your insurer how recent the appraisal must be. A new appraisal may also be useful after a significant alteration or when the purpose of the valuation changes.
Contact us with the approximate number and types of items and the intended use of the report. Confirm the required qualifications and documentation with the professional handling the estate before arranging the work.
Ask our team to explain the intake record, storage arrangements, any applicable coverage and the expected collection date before leaving your item.
