Evaluation/Appraisals:At Ralph Miller Jewelers & Gallery (America's Best Jewelers)& Erie's People's Choice Jeweler), we have the most knowledgeable and experienced appraisers you can find in this region. We can appraise all kinds of jewelry, diamonds, gemstones, sterling flatware, watches, artifacts and jewelry antiques, and much more. If you haven't had your jewelry appraised in the past 5 years, we recommend (because of the tremendously fluctuation in the metals market), that you have it documented in written detail as soon as possible. Most evaluations/appraisals are done for the sole purpose and peace of mind to obtain insurance coverage in the case of loss, theft or damage. However, our evaluations and appraisals can be used for many different situations such as; trust and estate tax evaluation, estate & trust liquidation, casualty loss, dissolution of marriage (divorce), collateral, tax and barter purposes.
