- You usually need to an appraisal that provides a detailed description and value.
Also keep in mind, because of the rising prices of gold over the last few years, your jewelry also probably increased in value, so you will want to get a new appraisal for your jewelry as well.
My mother in-law recently found some old jewelry with broken connections, and were in need of repair, so she brought to a place that buys jewelry and was amazed at how much money they offered her for here jewelry, and this was jewelry that had been sitting around collecting dust.
It is good practice to get a re-appraisal of your jewelry every five years or so, however if the commodity price fluctuate, as they generally do, weather prices increase or decrease, you might need to appraisals to make sure you coverage is sufficient.
