Statements and Limiting Conditions
Purpose-
The purpose of this report is to describe and document the quality of the jewelry listed and to estimate it's
Fair Market Value.
Intended Use
The intended use of this report isfor providing an estate. appraisal listing the Fair Market Value for use in
the resolution ofthe-Estate of Heleh Brymesser.
Valuation Date: 6/18/2008
Definition of Fair 1~Iarket Value
The fair market value is the price at whichthe property would change hands between a willing buyer and
.willing seller, neither being. under any compulsion to buy or sell. and. both having reasonable knowledge of
.relevant facts. The fair market value of a particular`item of property... is-not to be determined by a forced
- sale price. Nor is the ...fair market value of an item .of property to be determined by the sale price. of the item
in a market other than that in which such item is most commonly sold to the public, taking into account
location of the item wherever appropriate. Taken from Treasury Regulation 20.2031-1 (b)
Approach to Value
There are three traditional approaches to value that are as follows:
Income approach: Applies to income producing properties and is used only if an-income situation or rental'
property can be identified.
Market Data approach: Compares the qualities of the subject item to an article with similar or identical
qualities, and researches and records current verifiable sales of such merchandise.
Cost approach: Establishes the total value of an item by considering the value of-its component parts
(precious metal content, gemstone weights-and qualities, labor, and any other fee.'s) together with the
appropriate retail markup according to the norms of the jewelers in the locale, supply and demand, and the
current state of the marketplace.
Page>2 of9
Fair Market Value is estimated using the market data approach. Neither the income approach nor the cost
approach apply in establishing Fair Market Value. However, the cost approach to value was used to check
on the reasonableness or market values found.
Market
To-value an item a market (and market level) must be recognized. The most appropriate market for jewelry
can vary depending upon the article's age, condition,. quality, intrinsic content, aesthetic appeal,
provenance, .current fashion trends, artistic interpretation, period of manufacture among others.
The type of retail outlet that most commonly carries the items being appraised is considered to be the most
appropriate market. However, the auction market was also considered as another appropriate market in
establishing Fair market Value for this type of jewelry.
Limiting Conditions
The jewelry described within has been analyzed and graded in accordance with prescribed grading
standards using "state of the art" methods and precision laboratory equipment.
Jewelry constructed solely of, or in combination with, precious metals (i.e. platinum, palladium, yellow or
white gold and/or silver) is tested, analyzed and described for its type and content of such metal. Unless
otherwise stated, all gemstone weights; grades .and measurements are approximate and stones have not been
removed from their mountings.
Diamonds are graded with the prescribed grading. nomenclature of the Gemological Institute of America
(G IA) and-the use ofpre-graded permanent master diamond color comparison stones.
Colored stones are color graded according to the GIA color grading system. Unless otherwise stated, all
colored.stones listed on this appraisal report have probably been subjected to various treatments to improve
their appearance. Treatments-are considered usual and customary practices when properly disclosed and
when done without intent to defraud the consumer. The treatments are mostly. stable and do not require
special care. When a treatment is detected and considered unusual it will be so noted by this appraiser.
Some treatments are reversible and re-treatable. It maybe beyond the scope of an appraisal to determine.
exact. treatment methods or the amount of treatment present. Some treatments require sophisticated
equipment not found in a standard gemological laboratory. Prevailing marketvalues are based on these
universahy practiced and. accepted processes by thegems and jewelry trade.
Sources are assumed to be reliable and the appraiser does not assume responsibility for their information.
The appraiser assumes the ownership of the subject property is true as stated by the. client..
