One of the most important reasons to get an appraisal is for insurance purposes and identification. Over the years, the value of your pieces can vary greatly. It is typically recommended that your appraisals be updated every 3 or so years. If it's older than that, it may be out-of-date and your jewelry could be under insured. That means you risk a substantial financial loss if your jewelry is lost, stolen or damaged.
