What is SnapAppraise?
SnapAppraise is a free online service that estimates what a piece of jewelry is worth from photographs. A user uploads a few pictures taken from different angles, and the system identifies details such as the metal, gemstones, cut, approximate carat weight, style and era. It then returns a report with a low, middle and high value estimate, a confidence rating, recent sales of comparable items drawn from auction houses, retailers and resale sites, and the factors that raise or lower the figure. The site says results arrive in under a minute, that no app, fee or credit card is needed, and that it runs in the browser on any device. It covers diamonds, gold, watches and antique or estate pieces, and a separate gold calculator is listed in the site menu. SnapAppraise reports having completed more than 58,000 appraisals.
