Appraisals

With the market constantly changing, it is important to update insurance policies every 2-3 years. A jewelry appraisal will provide a current value, as well as a detailed description of your item. Having a current jewelry appraisal is important in the event that your jewelry gets damaged, lost or stolen. It is very important to have a certified gemologist perform your appraisal because an inaccurate appraisal can cause your insurance claim to be denied.

The owner, Alan Haugen is a graduate of the Gemology Institute of America and an accomplished goldsmith. This assures accurate, dependable, and consistent work with exceptional quality. Every piece of jewelry is cleaned and then the mounting and each stone is identified, measured and described in detail. You will receive an official typed up document with all of the information we gather on it, as well as a picture of the item. Our expert, accurate and affordable jewelry appraisals are trusted by insurance companies such as State Farm, Allstate and many more.

If it is possible to engrave something on your item, we can do it. Vernon Jewelers is one of the only places in Salem to engrave just about everything.
