Salvage Recovery
This is not a total loss you are looking at above. Yes, the building is a total loss, as well as most of the personal property inside, but at the GCA, we understand that most gemstones do not incinerate at the temperatures reached by most building fires. As result, even when the building itself is a total loss, many times major salvage can be achieved by sifting the rubble and recovering the many gemstones and precious metals that are usually still in viable states of recovery. At the GCA, we understand jewelry salvage issues from the very simple re-cutting of a chipped diamond to the recovery of major gemstone and jewelry collections from what others might consider a total loss and simply load up and haul away.
