Professional Valuation

Valuations and appraisals are not just about knowing the value of your jewellery, but understanding its history. We have a professional valuer who is a member of the Jewellery Valuers Association and The Institute of Registered Valuers who comes in once per month to provide our clients with a full valuation service for insurance, probate, family division and other reasons. You will be given a booklet with all of the details of your items as seen to the right, including a picture so that any lost items can be replicated exactly.

This costs £80 for the first item and £50 for each item after. For probate there is less detail and no pictures, so he charges a lower price of £65 for the first item and £40 for each item after. We charge a flat rate not a percentage commission. 

All items are kept in our safe on site and are not sent away.

The valuer comes in before we open, and is usually finished by 12:00 on the valuation date, at which point you are free to collect your items. We will give you a call as soon as they are ready. He takes all of the measurements that he needs then goes home to write up the paperwork which usually comes in 1-2 weeks after the valuation date. We will also give you a call when the paperwork is ready to collect.
