What does a jewelry appraisal cost in New York, NY?

Fees vary by appraiser and by piece, and are usually charged hourly or per item rather than as a percentage of value. Ask for the fee basis in writing before you hand anything over. A percentage-of-value fee is a reason to ask more questions.

What should I bring to a jewelry appraisal?

Bring the piece, any paperwork you already have (a lab report, a receipt, an old appraisal), and photographs of it in good light. Knowing roughly what the piece is before you arrive makes the conversation shorter and cheaper.

Can a phone app replace a professional appraisal?

No. GemstoneAI identifies a stone from a photo and estimates market value, which is a good starting point and a way to know what questions to ask. It is not a certified appraisal, and for insurance, probate or resale of a significant piece you want a credentialed professional.
