Duane W Hutchison earns Certified Insurance Appraiserâ„¢ diploma:
Adds specialized appraisal expertise to D & H Jewelry Appraisals.
(Boca Raton, FL): Duane W Hutchison of D & H Jewelry Appraisals at 8221 Glades Road Suite 208-4 recently completed specialized studies and became a Certified Insurance Appraiserâ„¢ in jewelry.
Appraisals for insurance are the most common jewelry appraisals requested. Because the insurer relies on the appraisal in setting premiums and settling claims, it is to the jewelry owner’s advantage to have as accurate and detailed an appraisal as possible.
A Certified Insurance AppraiserTM thoroughly examines the jewelry in a gem lab and documents in detail all features and qualities necessary to completely describe the jewelry. A detailed CIATM appraisal protects both the jewelry owner and the insurer, giving each party a record of exactly what is being insured, the item’s true value, and what can be expected should a replacement or settlement become necessary. In addition, an insurance appraisal prepared by a CIATM can mean significant premium discounts for the consumer.
The CIAâ„¢ course is offered by the Jewelry Insurance Appraisal Institute. It is the only jewelry appraisal training program certified to the highest insurance industry standards, as supported by the Jewelry Insurance Standards Organization (JISO).
D & H Jewelry Appraisals has been serving the Boca Raton community since 2012.
