Learn about jewelry appraisals...
Black River Diamond Company proudly provides jewelry appraisals of diamonds and jewelry in the Medford area. Many who plan to keep their cherished diamond jewelry, whether inherited or received to mark a special occasion, neglect to have their pieces appraised.

Individuals have their jewelry appraised for a number of reasons including:
· insurance policies for replacement in case of damage, loss, or theft
· estate tax valuations
· value comparisons
· liquidation
· curiosity
