Jewellery Valuation FAQs
Why should I have my jewellery valued?
The most common reasons to have your jewellery valued are for Insurance purposes, for Probate, or for Family Division purposes.
It may be that you have inherited jewellery and you would like to know what it is and if it is valuable.
Do I need to make an appointment?
We would recommend booking an appointment to visit us in-store so that we have time to take details we need and discuss your requirements thoroughly.
What do I need to bring with me?
Together with the item, any documentation including original receipts or certificates would be useful, but they aren’t essential.
Will I need to leave my jewellery with you?
We would prefer you to leave your jewellery with us for a few days, so that we have time to clean the piece and assess it thoroughly.
What will I receive when I have my jewellery valued?
You will receive an official valuation document signed by our in-house valuer, detailing each item in full. This document is recognized by all leading insurance companies, or solicitors should it be needed for probate and family division.
How often should I have my jewellery valued?
It is a good idea to have your valuations reviewed every two to three years. Fluctuations in prices, especially when dealing with precious stones and metals, mean that the market can be quite volatile.
Do you buy second-hand jewellery?
Occasionally we are happy to purchase estate jewellery or part-exchange against a new sale. If the item was not right for us, we would be happy to guide you in the right direction to ensure that you receive maximum potential for your needs.
