FOR UNDERWRITERS & AGENTS

APPRAISAL GUARD

Gemcor's Appraisal Guard ensures that appraisals for new and existing items have thorough gemological descriptions and realistic appraisal values.

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

Over-valued jewelry creates an incentive for a future claim. Inflated appraisal values are a common sales tactic. Under-valued jewelry does not bring in the premium revenue needed to offset risk. Insureds are often unaware that appraisal values need to be updated, until a claim is filed and it is too late.

Here's what our customers say...

I wanted to reach out and thank you so much for all your hard work and effort on my new ring. It is absolutely stunning and I am so happy with it. I appreciate your quick responses and your attention to detail. I know Jeff has worked more directly with you, but you have been so wonderful. I can't thank you enough!!

Thank you for such a perfect recreation of my ring. I inherited it from my dad, and it meant the world to me. I was sad and nervous that I needed a new ring, but it is even more beautiful than I remember and I am so thankful my adjuster approved the claim and introduced me to Gemcor.

I continue to say WOW to you and Ali!!! If I could own a business and be as emotionally invested as you guys are I would do it in a heartbeat!! Thanks so much—will be in touch!

The new ring is beautiful! I cannot wait to take it home to Shelby and show it to her. She will be thrilled with it. Thank you again for all your help and working with us on the extra work it took. You all were great to work with and I appreciate all the effort you put into this.

Kim stares at it A LOT and while riding with the top down she is constantly saying….”Sparkle, Sparkle, Sparkle …” as she rotates it putting glare all inside the car’s shadows….LOL. Thanks so much for making our 30th wedding anniversary forever memorable.
