What is the procedure to get gemstones and jewelry appraised or authenticated? Does it always cost?

Question

I have some jewelry that I have collected over the years and would like to know the values of the pieces and the process to maybe sell some online. Any advice would be helpful.

The best way to get your jewelry appraised/authenticated would be to go to a local jeweler in your area. They should be able to look at what you have and give you an idea of the value.

As to whether there is a cost, it would probably depend upon how much detail you want from them. Just a quick look and value quote on a couple of pieces might be free, but if you have a lot of pieces and want a detailed appraisal, then I'm sure they would charge you for taking up their valuable time.

Best of luck to you!!
