Jewelry Appraisals You Can Trust

Jewelry Repair
Insurance replacement appraisals — available every day at Don’s.

Whether you’re insuring a new engagement ring, updating coverage that hasn’t kept pace with the price of gold, or documenting a piece for your records, a proper appraisal gives you peace of mind. Our team evaluates your jewelry and provides a detailed written appraisal you can hand straight to your insurer.

When You Might Need One

  • A new or recent purchase

    Get the right insurance coverage from day one.

  • Updating older coverage

    Rising metal and stone prices can leave older pieces underinsured.

  • Estate & heirloom pieces

    Document inherited or gifted jewelry for your records and family.

What You Receive

A written appraisal with a detailed description of your piece — metals, stones, weights, and quality — along with a current replacement value your insurance company can use. Insurance replacement appraisals are offered every day we’re open, so there’s no waiting for a special appointment.

A Little About Us

Since 1959, the Bartels family has helped Clinton mark its biggest moments — the engagements, the anniversaries, the pieces handed down. What started with Donald and Marvel is carried on today by their son Daniel, his wife Sheralyn, and the next generation, with the same attentive service and the same expert hands. It's the kind of trust that only comes from sixty-five years of doing the work right.
