Learn about Appraisals

Atelier Lou has a team of certified appraisers to give you a professional opinion of the authenticity, quality, and value of your jewellery. This is done in accordance with the AAP Code of Ethics and Standards as well as the Jewellery Appraisal Guidelines – Minimum Acceptable Standards published by the Canadian Jewellers Association (CJA) and Jewellers Vigilance Canada (JVC). Appraisals are important to keep your jewelry safe and properly insured. Our expert gemologists will assess your diamonds, gemstones, and gold with precise tools to give you an accurate cost assessment and valuation. Having an up-to-date appraisal is important in the event of a loss or damage to your fine jewellery . We recommend having your jewellery appraised every three to five years to ensure you are fully covered under your insurance policy.
