If you haven't had your jewelry appraised in the past 5 years, we recommend you have it documented in detail today. Most appraisals are done for the purpose of obtaining insurance coverage in the case of loss, damage or theft. However, our appraisals can be used for many different situations such as; estate tax evaluation, value comparison, casualty loss, dissolution of marriage (divorce), collateral and barter purposes.

GemShield’s insurance is designed to protect against risks specific to jewelry. Most other insurance isn't. Jewelry-specific insurance is more extensive than a warranty and often broader than a homeowner’s or renter’s policy.
GemShield® Personal Jewelry Insurance offers:
Some homeowner’s/renter’s policies use generic replacement vendors. We send you back to your jeweler...the jeweler you trust. A jewelry claim could impact your homeowner’s or renter’s coverage. By removing jewelry from a homeowner’s or renter’s policy, you protect your insurability and avoid a related increase in premium should a loss occur.
Insuring your jewelry with GemShield® is easy and fast:
We can inscribe a name or other identification mark on any diamond, and most gemstones - even pearls! The laser inscription is only visible under magnification but is a great way to identify your own gemstones.

Mechanical Watch Full Service - Our full service for mechanical watches consists of the disassembly and overhaul of the movement with an examination of all parts. We replace damaged or worn parts and re-seal water-resistant cases. Each of its parts are placed in special chemical solutions that dissolve dirt, dust, and emulsify any dried out oils. When the watch is reassembled, special oils are applied to lubricate all essential parts. We recommend that a general overhaul be performed every three years and that all water-resistant watches be tested once a year for case tightness. In addition, bracelet watch bands are polished and thoroughly cleaned.
Quartz Watch Full Service - Our quartz watch full service consists of the watch disassembly, the case and bracelet being polished and thoroughly cleaned in the ultrasonic and the battery being replaced. If needed, the gaskets will be replaced then the watch is resealed to factory specifications. We recommend that all water-resistant watches have their water resistance checked every time the battery is changed.
