Unbiased appraisals are based on replacement cost of the item in the appropriate market for which it would likely to be replaced by the insurance company. When you lose a piece of jewelry, you not only lose something of value but something sentimental. Nothing can replace the sentiment but the piece can be replaced. To insure your jewelry, you will need some kind of documentation of proof of ownership with an assessed value for appropriate replacement.
