Jewellery Valuations

Jewellery valuations of a piece of jewellery, a watch or a clock, for whatever reason, requires a good deal of skill and experience.

Valuations can be for a number of reasons:

• For insurance replacement
• For confirmation of will
• For private sale
• For family division or divorce
• For Capital Gains Tax
• For loan security valuations

We offer a weekly jewellery valuation service.

Your Jewellery Valuation Report will usually contain the following:

An introductory letter (Letter of Transmittal)

This explains the basis under which the jewellery valuation has been carried out.

Valuation Schedule

A full description of your jewellery is provided giving the construction and condition of all pieces. All un-hallmarked metals are tested to establish the grade used. Diamonds are graded for colour and clarity. The colour is also assessed for coloured gems too. All weights, dimensions and proportions are noted. A value, relative to the purpose of the valuation, is identified.

The Image Schedule

On request every item of jewellery can be photographed from at least two perspectives, we supply as many images as are required to give a true and accurate representation of your pieces.

Glossary of Terms
