Equipped with top gemologists for the evaluation process, accessing jewelry appraisal is now easier than ever.

What Is Jewelry Appraisal?

A jewelry appraisal is more than the monetary value of the jewelry. Many people often get mixed up, trying to understand how jewelry appraisal works. Appraisal involves determining jewelry’s value after that comparing its value with insurances. Determining the cost of jewelry is paramount before proceeding with the appraisal process. Appraisal also requires a detailed report about jewelry’s attributes.

Application of Appraisals

While appraisals primarily provide insurance for jewels, they also enable our customers to find out the value of wealth meant for:

  • Divorce purposes
  • Value of estates
  • Resale purpose
  • Liquidation purposes

Divorce Cases

Finding the real value of wealth meant for division during divorce cases may be difficult. However, with Mimi’s Jewelry, customers can comfortably figure out how much property or assets each party can get. Moreover, state laws play significant roles during division.

 

Value of Estates

Appraisals enable us to figure out the value of the estate tax. State or Federal Codes apply while ascertaining the estate tax. Tax issues are crucial; this means that careful determination done by skillful experts is key to evading sanctions by authorities. Mimi’s Jewelry assures experienced evaluation of estate value tax.

Resale

Resale appraisals allow you to sell your jewelry, thereby providing more information about market value, liquidation value, or the replacement value.

 

Liquidation Purpose

Liquidation enhances the quick sale of your jewelry. It also gives you the opportunity of dictating the amount you wish and can be in written or verbal form. 

As mentioned earlier, ascertaining jewelry enables you to appraise the jewelry quickly. The method of figuring out the value of jewelry is referred to us jewelry grading. However, it is not the way of concluding the exact qualities of the jewelry.

Jewel Grading

Jewel grading requires knowledge of gemologists. It also requires state-of-art equipment such as laboratories, and Orange County provides everything you need. From the AGS, GSI, IGI to GIA, these laboratories have licensed personnel and equipment to evaluate your jewelry value. Mimi’s Jewelry also prides itself as home to experienced gemologists ready to work on your jewel.

 

Grading Report

The appraisal process needs a good grading report. It enables our customers to make better choices about how the value of their jewelry coincides with the cost of insurances, estate properties, or divorce agreements. Mimi’s Jewelry strives to offer the best grading services to enable our esteemed customers to reap highly from the jewelry industry.

Importance of Having Your Jewelry Appraised by Mimi’s Jewelry

Doing a jewelry appraisal is as vital as coming up with an investment. If you possess a piece of expensive jewelry, Mimi’s Jewelry suggests that you appraise it to experience the benefits. A jewelry appraisal is a step towards insuring your precious jewelry. Insuring your treasure protects its value in case of theft, misplacement, or damage. Additionally, the appraisal should be done as soon as possible.

 

 

Benefits of Appraising your Jewel Early

Failure to appraise your jewelry early enough puts you at risk of reduced insurance benefits. Jewelry prices vary from time to time, and as years go by, this leads to decreased insurance benefits after estimating your jewel’s value. Be sure to appraise your jewelry not later than five years. We encourage you to visit us as soon as possible for faster appraisal services.

Integrity in Appraising

Getting the most trusted appraiser is one of the most crucial processes in the jewelry industry. An honest jewelry appraiser guarantees you huge benefits. Mimi’s Jewelry aims at giving our customers candid reports about their jewelry to enable them to harvest bountifully.

 

 

Diamond Appraisals

Diamond is one of the most valuable jewelry in the world. Possessing a diamond gives you the opportunity of getting the most benefits when you insure it. In the jewelry industry, the treatment of diamonds as separate jewels is an everyday norm. 

Diamonds receive the most authentic grading. At Mimi’s Jewelry, we use the 4C’s, which include color, clarity, cut, and carat to grade diamonds, revealing its exact, precise, and real attributes. If your diamond’s 4C’s rank highly, the market value will similarly be high. Our company highly ranks diamonds, and we strive to offer the best diamond appraisal in orange county.

Our Client’s Love Us!

  •   Searching for a Diamond can be a tough process. The first few jewelers I went into felt like used car salesmen and didn't take much time to educate me on diamonds or the important features to look for. I was frustrated and thought I might have to order a stone online from Blue Nile or James Allen. A family friend referred me to David at Mimi's and he made a great impression upon our meeting. David's passion for diamonds is evident and he took time to explain what is important when looking for a stone. It was a no pressure environment and David said he could work with whatever our budget was and provide the most competitive prices. He is involved in the local community as well and does a ton of referral business which shows he cares about his clients. If you are in need of a jewler who is knowledgeable about his craft, passionate and very professional, I would recommend reaching out to David

      I recently took a locket in to have the photos added. The job was completed quickly and with precision. It was a small job but very important to me to have the work done right. The customer service was outstanding. The representative I worked with was careful and attentive to what I was looking to achieve. I got the feeling there is no job to big or too small and that all orders are treated with utmost respect in terms of showing care to the customer.

      I found the perfect wedding ring for myself (I picked it out and my fiancé bought it).  It was unique, masculine and gorgeous.  They had all of the classics and tons of alternates choices.

    I loved that they had sample rings of different sizes, materials, shapes, edges, etc.  This made it extremely easy to determine what I liked best.  I went to four other jewelers first and they had only a fraction of what Mimi's Jewelry offered.

  •   I came in with some old jewelry, just to see if it was worth selling. David offered a higher price than other jewelers in the area. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers. He's very knowledgeable about the product, and can even tell where the jewelry might have been bought. Super friendly service, and you feel really welcomed here. Highly recommend if you want to buy/sell jewelry.

      I purchased my engagement ring from NK Jewelers in Fountain Valley but when one of the diamonds fell off, I brought it back to them. Instead of trying to help me get the stone replaced, they tried to sell me a new setting for $1200. They  told me it probably wouldn't be possible to replace because they don't make this style anymore and it would cost too much to replace so it would be easier to buy another ring. I wanted time to consider my options so after leaving NK, I went to Mimi's. Mimi's sent it in for a quote and it came back at $280. They replaced the diamond in less than 2 weeks! Mimi's provided great service, honesty, and reasonably priced. I'm buying my jewelry from Mimi's from now on.

  •   Came in for a ring resizing and really enjoyed the service here. Communicated first with David over yelp to set up an appointment which was very easy and clear, he also let me know the business would be closed due to various events, which was very helpful for timing.

    Pricing was up front and fair, drop off and pickup was also very straightforward.

    Other associates helped when I went to pick up my ring, so I can say the great service and hospitality also extended to the other employees as well.

      I had such a fantastic experience with Mimi's Jewelry.  Great products, fantastic prices and amazing service!

    Dave and company helped me find the perfect ring for my girlfriend's birthday.  It was probably the most impactful gift that I've ever given.

    Let the professionals at Mimi's help you with your jewelry needs!

      I am not a jewelry person. I begrudgingly wear a fitness tracker ring because it's less cumbersome than the sort that goes on your wrist. But I found myself going to Mimi's because while traveling through the area for a wedding, my mother said she needed to replace a watch battery. I made some calls.

    At first, I was a bit put off that when I inquired about a battery replacement, i was told I'd have to leave the watch over night. But the price was right and Mimi's location was next to where I'd be so I decided to go in to hand off the watch. Once in the store, my mom resisted handing off her watch and asked if someone could just take the time to replace the battery on the spot. We were told all battery replacements take place at the end of the day when the person does them all at once. Fine. We could pick up the watch the next day.
    The woman who was on duty was very nice.

    The next day, we came in to pick up the watch on our way to the wedding. The woman working (different than the day before) asked for my mom's receipt. She didn't have it handy so the woman looked for it by her name. All in all, it was a short, pleasant transaction.

    We were charged $15 for the battery and labor, but given a $1.50 discount as new customers. That was a nice surprise.

    In the car, my mom said to me, "I really liked the person who served us." I laughed, saying, "All she did was hand you your watch, mom." But my mom said, "Yes, but she was kind and she smiled with even with her eyes. Her voice was confident and respectful. She made you feel attended to." I couldn't disagree.

    And for that kind service with a smile, I offer five stars.

  •   David is AMAZING! My fiancée and I just recently got engaged and got our sets of rings through Mimi's. David went above and beyond the entire experience! At first we thought we wanted moissanite  instead of diamonds for the center stones and David was able to get us excellent quality lab diamonds for the fraction of the cost! He worked around the clock with my fiancée and was able to adjust everything she asked for, making multiple renders and a wax mold of the rings to see in advance. They came out better than we could have imagined! 10/10 recommend. David is our jeweler for life!

      David at Mimi's was super honest, he quoted me the highest on buying my ex wife's wedding ring back. I went to the original builder of the ring and he offered less and wasn't as honest and upfront as David was. Will for sure be coming back for life and have earned my business for the future.

    Highly recommend

      I highly recommend Mimi's Jewelry.  Not only was the customer service superb, the craftsmanship phenomenal. David really went out of his way to help me restore my Grandmothers wedding ring.   Having recently passed, there was a lot of sentimental attachment to a very old ring that needed a lot of work. But David and team were up to the challenge!  I couldn't be more pleased with the work; I look at the ring and smile very time! Thank you, the results really speak for themselves.
