Call 512-306-8200 ext. 2 to schedule your appointment to have your jewelry appraised. Most appraisals can be performed at $145 to $225 for the 1st item and $75 to $95 for each additional item if the jewelry is not complicated and there is not extenuating research to be done. If you want the appraisal done "while you wait" just let us know when booking the appointment. Also, estate appraisals or large volume appraisals can be done for $125 per hour which makes the price significantly less.
