Question

How many pieces of jewelry do I have recorded, and how many of them have been appraised?
A good answer

Twenty pieces. The 2024 appraisal lists fifteen. From the records alone, thirteen say they were appraised and five say they were not (the Hamilton watch, the enamel pendant, the pearl drop earrings, Carl's cufflinks and the charm bracelet); the Omega and the pearls do not say either way, and it takes the appraisal or the valuables schedule to see that they were. An answer of thirteen from the records, with those two flagged as not stated, is acceptable; fifteen is the full answer.

Traps it covers

near_duplicate Each current policy sits next to last year's. Peg has an old and a new passport. Two diamond solitaire rings, hers and her mother's. Old and new doses of the same drug. Two jewelry appraisals eight years apart, whose names no longer say which is current. Two years of the accountant's summary. The 2019 wills and the 2003 ones are both still in the grey box, per two notes. Not every expired policy is labelled as such any more; the dates say it.

only_in_file Facts that are in no record field but overlap across files, in different words. The appraised values of the Omega ($4,150) and the pearls ($1,900) are in the 2024 appraisal and on the valuables schedule; the 2016 appraisal has older figures. The successor trustees and the specific gifts are in the trust. What happens to the cabin is in the trust (sold), in the amendment that replaced that paragraph (kept by the three children; the saved amendment is a scan with no text) and in the lawyer's letter that explains the amendment. Ray's 2026 required withdrawal ($28,012.02) is on the IRA statement and in the advisor's letter, and the 2025 tax summary gives it as "about $28,000". The porch change order is in the contract; the receipt says only that the porch came in $800 over.

mismatch The 2026 valuables schedule lists the sapphire ring at $4,600, its 2017 purchase price. Every other item was updated to the September 2024 appraisal, which values the ring at $6,800. The ring is under-insured by $2,200. The appraisal is right about the value; the schedule is right about what is insured.
