Understanding the value of your jewellery is important.

When it comes to insurance, a private or second-hand sale, understanding the value of your jewellery is important.  

Jewellery valuation is a comprehensive process that includes metal testing, establishing the method of manufacture (handmade, cast or machine), gemstone identification and gemstone grading and weight approximation. The value of the jewellery is determined through assessment, testing and comparison within the appropriate market. 

With each valuation you receive a Valuation Report containing the valuation, a detailed description of the item, the testing results, a colour photograph and the value of the piece or pieces. In the event that your jewellery is lost or stolen, a Valuers Report is looked on favourably by insurance companies to speed up your claim and ensure that you are paid proper compensation. 

A Valuation Report is helpful for insurance claims as well as drafting Wills, Family Law Settlement and Estates. The detailed description within the report is also crucial if you wish to have the piece remade.
