Jewelry is not just an accessory, it’s a valuable investment that holds sentimental and monetary value. Whether you have inherited a family heirloom or purchased a piece for yourself, it’s important to protect your jewelry with the right insurance coverage. One crucial step in ensuring proper coverage is getting your jewelry appraised for insurance purposes every three years.

Probate Appraisals and Fair Market Value

January 21, 2018
By Robert Fisher

Probate Appraisals are probably the most significant appraisal that is needed at a time that is often stressful and emotional. I have been working with clients independently and via their attorneys in Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and South Palm Beach County for 35 years.

I searched for a jeweler I could trust to help me understand the items I owned. I went to several and just did not feel good about the experience. Finally I found David Stern and the experience there assured me there are real jewelers still around. He sat patiently with me to help me understand the items I had, not only in monetary value but also in the aspect of what I owned and how it might be meaningful to family history. In addition, they fixed a vintage ring for me that I can now wear proudly and remember my heritage every day. The experience was excellent and I will be a David Stern customer for all my future jeweler needs.

David is fantastic! He reconstructed/built two rings for me and they both turned out absolutely beautiful! David was very honest and made the rings very quickly, even during the busy holiday season.

We went to see David about a new jewelry purchase we made. We choose David for the reviews he has received. My wife and I could not be happier. David was patient answering all our questions and his advice was spot on. This is a man of integrity and we would recommend David just based on his knowledge and demeanor. We received a new appraisal within 15 minutes and the cost was reasonable as expected.

David scheduled an appointment with us quickly, and was entirely transparent about how he determined the price he was offering on each and every item. He is honest, upfront, clearly expert and handled the transactions with absolutely top notch professionalism. David also stayed long past his usual closing time to answer all of our questions and complete the transactions. I feel 100% confident that we got the best possible prices for our silver and gold estate pieces and jewelry. It was a very positive and even an enjoyable experience!

David is absolutely the best jeweler we have ever known.

This place is a gem. I had a wonderful experience with David Stern Jewelers in Boca. I was highly recommend to Him for a repair that no one wanted to attempt. David took the task to heart and helped me. I'm 100% satisfied and will return to create a special piece with my grandparents wedding bands. He also has a beautiful collection of brilliant and unique jewelry. A bonus to the experience is his four legged partner who was such a precious greeter and kept me company while the repair was happening.

THE BEST! This is the third time I’ve purchased / done business with David Stern and first time writing a review and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you guys for all you do. My wife picked out a beautiful push present and had it custom ordered to her liking. I brought in a family heirloom broken ring to be fitted and fixed and cleaned and David’s top priority was my 100% satisfaction and he delivered. Pricing is super competitive and up-front, no surprises later. The New Years sale was really a blessing to us. 3 for 3 positive experiences. Thanks again!

AllI can say is that my bride couldn't be happier. And when I say bride, I mean my wife of 29 years. I wanted her ring spruced up, and David's suggestions were creative and the service was impeccable. Going to a jeweler is like going to a mechanic. It's all about the relationship and trust, and as a lay person I really have no idea about the work that has to be done, and how much it will cost. Well, David will be my jeweler for life, and I highly recommend him.

From the moment I walked into David Stern Jewelers, I was very comfortable and welcomed. Right now, due to Covid19 it can be difficult to find a jewelry repair shop that is open. I called a few places and was turned off because of the rudeness of whomever answered the phone. Not the case when I called David. Very polite!I have a 22k solid rope chain that is very important to me and noticed one of the links were broken off and needed immediate repair. I took it to David Stern Jewelers and was told that I could continue to wear my necklace, but at anytime it could break (22k is obviously soft) and my options were to solder it, or wear it until it breaks. I decided to have it soldered and I'm glad I did. They did a fantastic job at a very reasonable price!If you are looking for a Jeweler in Boca Raton you can trust, I would highly recommend DSJ! -Frost

So far I have come across only two fair places in Boca to sell your jewelry. One estate buyer and here. The difference is David is a gemologist and has a lot of inventory and I really appreciated his time and professional manner. His prices were more than double that I was offered anywhere else and right in line with one other place I would definitely go back to him because he is fair and honest. I feel he is more of an expert and has lots of knowledge he was a pleasure to work with and highly ethical. I will make purchases as well as sell again to him and likely won’t go elsewhere from now on. Very fair and beyond double what others offered besides the one place who really were not gem experts.

Five stars is not enough for David Stern. He is an amazing artist who designs and creates the most unique and fabulous jewelry. If you have a stone(s), he will create a work of art for you, suggesting and enhancing your idea, He also has access to the highest quality stones from all over the world . He has been in the jewelry business for years and really knows the ins and outs. If you have jewelry to sell, he will give you a fair price after explaining how he calculated it considering the style, the weight and the quality of the stone(s) He is extremely personable and very pleasant to work with. I am very confident in saying he would never take advantage of you..

Highly recommend. I had an old mine cut diamond that was a family heirloom remade into an engagement ring, and I took it to a jeweler who completely messed it up and set the diamond wrong and it fell out. They had also resized the band incorrectly. David is an expert. We went to him and he reset the diamond beautifully, fixed the band, and it’s amazing. Also, because the diamond is so old and so unique we couldn’t find a wedding band that went with it correctly. David had a wedding band for us custom made, that looks AMAZING. Everything was done in a reasonable amount of time, for a reasonable price, with great expertise and craftsmanship. Go to David!!

I needed to get an engagement ring made for my fiance, and David came highly recommended. I already had a diamond from an heirloom and needed it transformed into a new ring. From the first visit up until the end result David made me feel extremely comfortable. Walking in I had a really good idea of what I wanted. Even with that being so, David still offered his creative input without being pushy. I'm really grateful that he did, because the end result is amazing! It turned out better than I imagined. There was a little mishap with the ring size, and David had it fixed in a matter of hours, which we truly appreciated.

My “soon-to-be-“ sister-in-law, mother-in-law, and niece planned a day for us to explore engagement rings in November 2018. They scheduled an appointment with David Stern Jewelers for us to learn about and try on rings. What an experience! David is extremely knowledgeable. He asked probing questions about my interests and presented us with rings that both aligned and challenged my initial desires. At the end of the visit, we had absorbed so much information, taken pictures of exciting ring styles, and never felt pressure to purchase. With that, I’ve encouraged my boyfriend to give David a visit!

It is always difficult making decisions about sentimental pieces of jewelry, but David Stern made many excellent suggestions that made me feel better about changing out some stones and saving the settings so I wouldn't lose the sentimental value of the pieces. He took the time to explain how diamonds are evaluated and made me feel like I was his only customer. I felt very comfortable recommending him to my friends and family.

I came into David’s jewelry shop to get some answers about it. David sat down with me and patiently answered all of my questions, told me more about the ring, and even cleaned my ring. He didn’t even end up charging me! I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back for all of my future jewelry needs :)

The loveliest jeweler in S Florida. He does quality work, has beautiful jewelry and is a pleasure to work with every time.

I lost the diamond in my custom designed wedding ring when the setting prongs became loose without me realizing. I was beyond heartbroken and sad and it actually took me 4 years to look for a jeweler that I could trust to help me. My original setting was too high and I thought I would have to have the ring completely redesigned. After a diligent search , I found David Stern Jewelers. David was very welcoming and entering his store felt more like visiting an old friend than a stuffy, uptight establishment that most jewelry stores feel like (to me, anyway). David assured me that we could lower the setting and he had a beautiful pear shaped diamond that fit perfectly. And, amazingly enough, he had the new diamond in the new setting within 3 hours! I'm so happy that I walked into that little "gem" of a store and met David! He's the real deal!

Although writing a testimonial and supportive review is not something I often do, there are a handful of special moments in one's life when you encounter a service, product or company that thoroughly exceeds your expectations. So very much so, and in every capacity, that you feel as though you'd be remiss if you didn't share your wonderful experience with the world. THIS is one of those times! I am a REAL CUSTOMER and this is my unsolicited story. I respectfully encourage you to read on. After conducting a fair amount of Due Diligence and reading the reviews about reputable Jewelers -- just as you're probably doing right now -- I can honestly say that I couldn't be more pleased with the expert guidance, creativity and fair-priced service that I received at David Stern Jewelers.My first encounter with David Stern was by telephone, and within just a couple of minutes or so, after I had explained the nature of my multiple inquiries, I was convinced that my search efforts had paid off and that I'd truly found the right guy! I made an appointment to visit with David that afternoon and was later greeted by David at the door. His outright friendliness was candidly warm, personable and very down-to-earth. This put me at ease right away and we went into his office for a personal consultation. I explained that subsequent to my Mom's recent passing, my brother and I had inherited her fairly extensive collection of all kinds of jewelry … it included a mixture of diamond pieces, white & yellow gold bracelets, necklaces, rings, pins -- both Vintage and Current -- along with many pieces of costume jewelry. This entire collection would, at a later date, be fully evaluated, assessed and render a proposed cash offer.Among other things, I first wanted to repurpose the diamonds from two of my Mother's rings to create a one-of-a-kind Engagement Ring for my very deserving Fiancée. Like a couple of old friends working together, I described to David what I was looking for and, on very short order, David came up with a basic sketch rendering. It incorporated several sentimental stones from both of my Mom's rings ... David's creative vision for this finely crafted piece was amazing!Truthfully, ten days later when I picked up the finished ring, I was blown away by its exquisite and gleaming design … so was everyone else, especially my Fiancée … when I proposed!! It was a custom creation from the ground-up that only someone with David Stern's talent could precisely fabricate. Since the purchase of that beautiful ring, I've been back to see David several times. Each time, he insists on cleaning and polishing whatever pieces of jewelry I/we happen to have (routinely Free-of-Charge) and we're always greeted like "Family". Our most recent appointment was a three-hour Cost-Free consultation to appraise and assess our Mother's entire collection of jewelry. We selected a few pieces that we wanted to keep in the family, and then decided to accept David's generously-fair Cash-Offer for the remaining pieces. I can honestly say that when it comes to Jewelry, you won't find a nicer, more-qualified, pleasant, genuine, knowledgeable, trustworthy, considerate and fair-minded person than David Stern. You simply cannot go wrong with a guy like this and I can't think of a single reason to shop for jewelry anywhere else!David B.Boca Raton, Florida

Timothy H.

I brought in my engagement ring for a “second opinion” because when someone at the International Diamond Exchange resized my ring, it came back with unremovable residue under the diamonds in the setting, and denied that it was a problem. David and Colleen told me they would put it in an acid bath, and they kindly removed my center stone to avoid damaging anything. They placed the stone safely in a little pack for me to take home, which was so wonderful because it is a family stone. I hope to be picking it up soon. David said it would look as good as new!Because they were so kind, I went ahead and asked them about a design for my fiancé’s wedding ring. David gave me a great estimate and set up a plan for me that I can afford (I’m about to graduate college) and told me he would make it exactly to my specifications. I am so excited!Thanks to Rob, Colleen, and David. Such amazing service, and for a walk-in no less!

I came in practically in tears thinking my new ring bought elsewhere may be a fake, and he quickly re-assured me everything was peachy keen and it had some residue all around it that was causing the gem to look differently. He was so warm, personable, and professional. I appreciated his expertise and kindness. He truly cares for his customers. The appraisal was a fair price and provided me with lots of education on different items. He also had a beautiful selection of colored gems and unique estate items. I definitely recommend visiting for your needs.

My husband was equally enthusiastic because he wanted me to have something very special as a symbol of our enduring love.

I recently visited David Stern Jewelers to have some diamond jewelry appraised. The pieces were left to the estate of my recently deceased mother. My partner and I immediately felt confidence in Mr. Stern's experience and expertise. He is very credentialed, and his many years in business, dealing with clients at all income levels, left us feeling assuredthat we had come to the right place. Mr. Stern is straightforward and very knowledgeable. His wife, who works with him, is very friendly and sociable, and made us feel quite comfortable.

Loretta D.

I brought my wife's engagement ring to David Stern for an appraisal. The customer service was excellent.I made an appointment online and was immediately greeted by David. David Stern himself actually took the time to appraise my ring. The appraisal was very professional and quick. I immediately received an extremely professional email appraisal form to send to my insurance company and then about one week later received the formal paperwork in the mail. The final formal appraisal was printed on thick photograph paper and is very nice. I highly recommend David Stern if you are looking for any type of jewelry appraisal. He is very knowledgable, friendly and courteous. Thanks again, David!

My husband and I went to David Stern Jewelers for a jewelry appraisal. David was amazing! He was welcoming, friendly, personable, and professional. We highly recommend visiting David for any appraisal needs. The price was fair and he has beautiful jewelry in store. We almost walked out with more than we needed.

Phyllis van den B.

A wonderful experience!David Stern sets the bar high for buying estate jewelry as well as selling his beautiful designs. His willingness to explain all aspects of the process of purchasing jewelry with complete transparency, his beautiful store, not to mention David’s impeccable sense of style all contribute to a comfortable, safe environment where one knows they will be treated fairly and courteously. We were so impressed that not only did we sell the jewelry we had, we also arranged for a new David Stern designed necklace to be made for us right away.If you’re selling jewelry, don’t waste time seeing anyone else. If you’re buying, pay him a visit. You won’t be disappointed!

Very nice and helpful. Great repair on earrings.

Andras C.

If you're like me and have a lot of questions before even going to a Jeweler, let me just say that David Stern is very nice, patient and answered all of my questions over the telephone, which made me feel very comfortable. When you walk in, you automatically feel welcome and comfortable. I have four pieces of sentimental jewelry. Two pieces are my late mother's old-fashioned beautiful jewelry, my engagement ring I received from my husband 17 years ago. and a diamond pendent from my late mother-in-law. I needed to get a new appraisal done for insurance purposes. I called numerous jewelry stores to find the right jeweler that was both GIA Certified and reasonably priced. I called at least 12 or more jewelers from Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach, FL. David Stern was the most reasonable, professional and personable. We set an appointment to have it done and he took his time to look at my jewelry, write the appraisal and take beautiful pictures of each piece of jewelry. His certified appraisal was professionally written. While I was in his store, I looked at a few pieces of jewelry and I was surprised to see the beautiful and good quality in design in the jewelry that he sells.. David is also very informative and he made some good recommendations to me about insurance companies that I was unaware of. I have a few pieces of jewelry that I want to have fixed and upgraded and I will be bringing my jewelry to only David Stern because of the time and quality he puts into his design and craftsmanship.

David Stern is very professional & was wonderful to me. I will recommend him to my family & friends. He has a gorgeous selection of jewelry and I look forward to stopping by his shop again soon to see his new Collection!

I had purchased an antique engagement ring (over 100 years old!) from a separate dealer and brought it in to David to be appraised and reinforced. Given the ring was old, the structural integrity was something that concerned me. I had a very enjoyable experience with David as he educated my Fiancé and I on every aspect of the ring. David was very honest and transparent with us - which we appreciated! We had David reconstruct the ring in order to create a more resilient replica. We couldn't be happier with the results as we now have a beautiful ring that will last for another 100 years!

What a beautiiful jewelry store. The owner was gracious and helpful showing me many of his diamonds and gemstones. This was a truly interesting visit. I will be returning soon to purchase a beautiful opal and diamond ring.

Went to David Stern today to sell my jewelry. David was such a pleasure to work with. He is very trust worthy and excellent at what he does. Definitely would use him again in buying and selling my jewelry. Such a wonderful man!

Got my engagement ring done here, it turned out amazing!

I went to David to have an engagement ring appraised because of his excellent reviews. I was very impressed with David’s knowledge and honesty and was glad to see that the great reviews were well earned.

Russell R.

Mr. Stern was very knowledgeable, kind, honest, and informative. He’ll let you look at your jewelry with his tools to get the full picture of his appraisal. He explains the process of selling jewelry and is very thorough. Although I did not sell my piece of jewelry as it was, he offered to transform it into another piece of jewelry which was a lovely idea. I definitely will return.

I had been trying to sell my old engagement ring but didn't want it to go to just anybody. I looked up Jewelers near me and David's name came up. Good reviews are important, but what sold me was actually the phone call. I called this place and David answered and welcomed me in without making it sound like he was trying to "sell me". He didn't ask for anything of me and offered to look my ring. I had lost the information on the cut and color, etc. I knew the minute I walked in I would feel safe selling my ring here. Great customer service, great guy, genuine. David is real- not some guy trying to take your money! I was relaxed and finally able to close this chapter in my life! Thanks David!!

Leah C.

Very pleasant to work with, a true expert, honest, and gave me a very good deal. Im very glad I found him and will definitely come to him in the future.

From the second i walked in, to the moment I left everyone was so gracious. The manager was very attentive to me. Sitting down to educate me and give me a great price on my items.. I left with a feeling that this is a place I want to return to.

My fiancé and I had such an a amazing experience with David! We bought several pieces for our 5 years anniversary. David has gorgeous collection at his store. Definitely check it out. You will not be disappointed.

David was incredibly professional got my ring done ahead of schedule. I had been looking for somebody to make me an engagement ring for some time and felt pretty uncomfortable dealing with many of the jewelers I had spoken with. Fortunately for me I stumbled into David's shop and he walked me through all the steps and made the process super comfortable. He listened and was receptive to what I asked for in a ring, and my god did he deliver. I would recommend David Stern 10/10 times and I look forward to doing all of my future business with him.

Alex H.

I brought several pieces to David and he took a lot of time with each piece to give me a good price. He had me follow him everywhere with the jewelry so that I would see everything he was doing. I’m very happy with the outcome. He also fixed a pair of earrings for me that didn’t sit well on my ears and now look great!

Elizabeth C.

I’ve been here twice for repairs and couldn’t be happier! I have found my go to jeweler. Great store. Owner is extremely professional and friendly!

Lauren B.

Experienced jeweler with not only a high end, unique selection of jewelry, but a great appraisal service. I recently had an appraisal session with David Stern and was very impressed. He was thorough and informative, and is now my go-to-jeweler. My appraisal (which includes a picture of the ring) was e-mailed to me, and another copy should arrive in the mail shortly. I also got a ring re-rhodium plated and some other rings steam cleaned while I got the appraisal, and they did a great job with those as well. Lastly, his store has a lot of rare and beautiful pieces that I will definitely be taking of in the future. Couldn't be more pleased with my experience. Thanks, David and Co!UPDATE: Went back and got the engagement/wedding ring of my dreams! The picture of it says it all. Thanks, David Stern!!

Excellent experience with the owner. He was humble, kind and personable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking forward buying authentic diamond or gold pieces.

David was extremely kind and knowledgeable. I went in because the diamond on my ring was loose and I was scared to continue wearing it but he had it fixed right on the spot. He also has some beautiful and unique jewelry pieces! Definitely recommend him

Stephanie S.

David Stern did an amazing job sizing my mother’s engagement ring. I needed the ring size from 5 to 9 to give to my sister in-law. When I picked the ring up it looked like a brand new ring and looks better than it did when I brought it in. His work is excellent, fast, and very reasonably priced.

Angela

Working with David was exceptional! He was extremely helpful and knowledgable when my boyfriend and I were picking out an engagement ring. The whole process from start to finish was professional and fun! We would highly recommend David Stern Jewelers for any and all of your jewelry needs!

After seeing the reviews and reputation that David had online I decided to stop in for my engagement ring shopping. My girlfriend at the time was interested in yellow sapphires so I mentioned to him that that's what I was looking for and gave him a price range. He had a few in the store but said that he had worked with other jewelers in town for twenty odd years, and thought they'd have some great ones for the ring. I think that same day he had spoken to a friend of his in the business and sent me an HD video of a beautiful yellow sapphire that they had. I was able to send that around to people helping me with the decision, and everyone loved the stone. He got it from his friend the next day and I was able to see it in the store and purchase it. We had a bit of a special request of the band being gold, and he designed a beautiful ring accommodating that, and even had my fiance's sister on the phone with us to talk through the design. It's worth noting that he only had a few weeks to make the ring itself since I wanted to propose on a specific date, and he got it done well early. The ring turned out to be a knockout and everyone loves it. It's worth noting that David went above and beyond to cut costs where he could, and has been prepared to make a few tweaks for my fiance when she's finally willing to part with it for a few weeks. I'll be doing business with David again for sure.

David is the bomb! I have lived in South Florida for 24 years and have been searching for an honest and talented jeweler for almost as long. My diamond ring needed some improvement. The setting was old and the rhodium plating was starting to wear off. The baguettes on either side of the center stone had no sparkle to them. I told David I didn’t have a lot of money to spend right now and wanted to know if there was anything he could do to give my ring life again. Lo and behold he performed magic. I picked up my ring today and was floored by how beautiful it looked. He re-rhodium plated the ring, replaced the baguettes with super shiny round stones, lowered the center stone just enough to make the ring look twice as big! All this for an extremely reasonable price. I couldn’t be happier! If you are looking for an honest and experienced jeweler, David Stern is your man.

Marlene L.

My girlfriend and I went to see David to have a few sapphires appraised and were very surprised and overly happy with not only his honesty but also his knowledge. He definitely went above and beyond! Would recommend him to anyone.Mike

Artifex H.

I went in to David’s store not knowing what to expect but I am glad I chose to go. David welcomed me in and made me feel very comfortable right away. He addressed all of my concerns and even gave me options I didn’t know I had. He definitely knows his craft and I will be going back for more services in the future!

A hidden gem of a jewelry store and apprasier. I truly felt that I could trust them and get accurate valuation of jewlery and recommendations for future jewelry. They were responsive to questions and phone calls. Highly recommend.

This was my second visit to David Stern and I was impressed, once again, with his design skills and quick read of my needs and wants! Quickly came up with a plan to convert what I had to what I wanted!

I visited David Stern’s Jewelry last week for the first time. I chose this shop because they were very close to home, and other online reviews were good. The service and level of professionalism was exceptional. He took his time and was very thorough and gave me a spot-on appraisal. Plus, the fee for the appraisals was fair and I will definitely go back to David.

Sandra B.

David Stern and his staff are very professional. The owner is a jeweler and appraiser as well as designer. He is an old school class act. Very respectful, funny and personable. I highly recommend this store for all of your jewelry needs including repair, designing something unique, estate pieces.

Elise R.

I wanted to find a place to get a wedding band to match my engagement ring. I looked online at reviews and David Stern's was by far the top rated and I will tell you it is for a reason. They did a great job with my ring and it matches perfectly. Him and his staff will make sure to give you exactly what you are looking for. They also completed the work very quickly, which I was pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend them!

Kristina S.

I did my research to find a Jeweler to do an appraisal and your name kept appearing. I want to thank you for taking the time to answer all my questions. The reviews I read about were correct. Thank you again.

Bette B.

Everything was excellent! Very helpful and super kind. He helped fix my platinum engagement ring twice and was fairly priced. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to repair jewelry or to buy unique pieces !!

Brandy C.

I had a wonderful experience getting some jewelry appraised. David was honest and upfront about the pieces. Gave me some good advice about buying pieces while on a cruise (will not make that mistake again!). I will be back in the future to actually purchase pieces from him as he has beautiful pieces in his store that many of them are made and designed by him directly. Very satisfied!

Lori O.

Great experience today with Mr. Stern. He was very honest and a nice personality to boot! I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell jewelry.
