Appraisals – We can appraise all kinds of jewelry, diamonds, gemstones and watches. If you haven’t had your jewelry appraised in the past 5 years, we recommend you have it documented in detail today. Most appraisals provide replacement value for the purpose of obtaining insurance coverage in the case of loss, damage or theft. However, other situations such as estate tax evaluation, dissolution of marriage (divorce), donations, etc. require a fair market value.

Jewelry Insurance – Jewelers Mutual Insurance is the only insurance company that specializes in protecting jewelers and the personal jewelry of the United States. Founded in 1913, Jewelers Mutual licensed in all 50 states, insures personal jewelry of more than 100,000 people. As a professional jeweler, we are committed to providing a full range of services – from helping you make the right selection to backing up your purchase if there is a problem. With that in mind, we would like to tell you about a service called Personal Jewelry Insurance from Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company, the nation’s jewelry insurance specialists.

Fine jewelry is beautifully crafted to last for generations, but accidents do happen. Loss or damage to these items can be emotionally and financially devastating. Your Personal Jewelry insurance policy will repair or replace your insured jewelry if lost, stolen or damaged. It even covers “mysterious disappearance.” What’s more, if you have a covered loss, Jewelers Mutual will ask that you return us to have your jewelry repaired or replaced instead of mailing it off to someone you don’t know. Furthermore, jewelry losses you experience with Jewelers Mutual will not affect your existing homeowners policy. Jewelry losses you turn in on your homeowners policy will count towards your continued eligibility and may even impact your homeowners premium.

For more information, stop by our store and pick up a brochure on the program, call Jewelers Mutual direct at 1-888-884-2424 or visit them at Jewelers Mutual Insurance. We would also be happy to provide the insurance appraisals needed to insure your jewelry.

  • Gems of La Costa is our favorite jeweler. They have exquisite pieces and are a pleasure to work with. Any time I receive one of those little dark blue boxes, I know I am going to love what‘s inside.

  • Awhile ago I bent one of my favorite rings and have not been able to wear it. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that one Gems of La Costa could fix it and two they did so one the spot. It completely made my day and I would recommend them to anyone based on their amazing customer service! They were just so friendly and ready to help.

  • My girlfriend mailed me a bracelet from Michigan that spelled my son’s name, but it was just a little too short. I didn’t want to have to mail it all the way back so I brought it in to La Costa Gem’s, and they added links to make it the perfect length on site, no wait! I wear it all the time :) Thank you!
