Taxable estates require documents that are structured to meet IRS requirements. An appraisal done correctly will help you by providing credible, defensible opinions of value for the property in the estate. GIA Graduate Gemologist Trang Pham of La Jolla Gem Appraisal is a qualified appraiser and provides qualified appraisals as defined by Treasury Regulations. We do our job with
due diligence and competency to ensure that nothing in or about our appraisal of the jewelry will raise a red flag that could trigger an audit or challenge. The specific definition of Fair Market Value as determined by 26 CFR, section 20.2031-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations is used for these appraisals.
An appraisal fee can be charged per piece for small collections. Hourly rate fees will be computed for
larger collection.
A jewelry appraisal is an unbiased, evidence-based valuation for a specific purpose, as of a specific date, that is based on researched market data analyzed and formulated into a report prepared by a trained, experienced professional valuation specialist.
As the only AGA Gemological Laboratory in San Diego, we use advanced technology and scientific methods to provide our professional, independent and unbiased opinions of the identification, quality and grading.
We provide services in selling jewelry for our private clients who wish to convert the jewelry that no longer fit their lifestyle into liquid assets or for estates and trusts seeking to sell collections or partial collections.
