Photos on your Jewelry Appraisals

Recently had an email from a client in France who sells jewellery through the European eBay Market. She has seen a significant increase in sales (32% plus) since she placed photos on her Online Jewelry Appraisal Certificates.

I have mentioned this before to you, but I just thought it was worth repeating.

Don't teach some young assistant JUST to write appraisals - get them to take photos and upload them to the Center.

Most young ones know how to do digital photos and transfer them to their computers anyway....

More on this subject as it comes to hand.

Introduction to Jewelry Appraisals

For most of you, the thought of getting a Valuation or Appraisal on your Jewelry is NOT at the top of your list. But it should be...

To often, clients assume that their Jewelry is either....

• Not Valuable enough to bother
• Covered by their Household insurance
• Safe on their Finger, so it won't get lost.

All of these are WRONG and we cover some suggestions in our insurance article and the security pages under the Learning Section of the Jewelry Appraisal Center.

If you are concerned about these matters and haven't had the chance to read them yet, we suggest you take a little side trip and cover the bases as soon as possible....

....Before the ring falls off the finger, or the chain gets lost while swimming, or the Diamond (was it a Diamond?)....

Get the Picture..?

That's exactly What a Jewelry Appraisal Valuation Certificate is for....
