KATZ IMPORTS · PROFESSIONAL APPRAISALS
What’s your jewelry worth today?
A ring you’ve worn for years. An inherited piece. A collection with paperwork that hasn’t been updated in decades.
Katz Imports provides professional written appraisals for insurance. We’ll examine your jewelry, document its details and assess its current replacement value.
Have an older appraisal? Bring it along—we’ll review it with you and discuss what needs updating.
OLD APPRAISAL? BRING IT.
Have paperwork? Bring it along.
Previous appraisals, diamond grading reports, purchase receipts and any other documentation can help us understand your piece.
No paperwork? We can start with the jewelry itself.
Tell us which items you’d like appraised, and we’ll discuss the process, timing and fees before your appointment.

“What would it cost to replace this?” and “What could I sell it for?” are two different questions.
A professional insurance appraisal documents replacement value. A resale evaluation considers what your piece could bring in the current market.
At Katz Imports, we’ll explain the difference and help you choose the service you need—whether you’re updating your insurance paperwork or considering a sale.
WHAT ABOUT GRANDMOM’S SILVER?
It may be worth more than you think.
Sterling flatware and decorative pieces often sit unused in closets. Depending on the set, construction, and silver market, there may be substantial value.
Some buyers don’t want the processing work. We don’t mind. Katz Imports actively buys sterling silver—complete or partial sets, serving pieces, bowls, trays, tea and coffee sets, and sterling hollowware.
Weighted, reinforced, or filled items—and knives with multiple materials—need a closer look. Don’t dismantle them. Bring them as-is.

GIA DIAMOND GRADING SERVICES →Is your appraisal still current?
Rising gold prices and a changing diamond market are good reasons to revisit older appraisals. Some pieces may cost more to replace today; others may warrant a lower replacement value.
An updated appraisal can help you avoid being underinsured—or give you a basis to discuss potential premium savings with your insurer. A rise in gold prices alone doesn’t mean your entire piece has doubled in value. We’ll assess the jewelry as a whole.
Bring your existing paperwork to Katz Imports. Let’s make sure it reflects what you have today.
