What does a jewellery valuer actually look for? 🔍💎
Many people think a jewellery valuation is simply about putting a price on a piece. In reality, that's just the final step.
Every item is carefully examined under magnification to assess its construction, craftsmanship and condition. I identify gemstones, estimate their quality and weight, assess precious metals, look for signs of wear or previous repairs, and record every detail needed to produce an accurate insurance valuation.
The replacement value isn't based on guesswork—it's the result of technical knowledge, current market research and a detailed understanding of how jewellery is manufactured and sold today.
Whether it's a treasured family heirloom, an engagement ring or a modern designer piece, every item deserves the same level of care and attention.
Because protecting what matters starts with knowing exactly what you own.
