More Than Meets the Eye: Valuing High-End Property in Divorce with Kelly Knoll, ISA CAPP

Send us Fan MailPeople don’t usually think they’re going to “lose it” over a lamp, a ring, or a set of dishes, until divorce turns personal property into a power struggle. We sit down with Kelly Knoll of Heritage Appraisals to get brutally clear about what household items, jewelry, art, antiques, and collectibles are actually worth, and when they are not worth the fight. We talk about practical steps you can take early, like setting a value threshold, documenting portable items, saving receipts and certificates of authenticity, and understanding when photos are enough versus when an in-person inspection is needed.Then we zoom out to trends shaping valuations right now, including softer demand for many traditional antiques, continued strength in modern and mid-century aesthetics, the market shock to natural diamond prices from lab-grown diamonds, and why more buyers are shifting toward colored gemstones. We even touch on designer handbags and how scarcity and brand discipline can make or break resale value.If you’re negotiating a divorce settlement or trying to protect your financial future, this conversation helps you stop guessing and start making clean, defensible decisions.
