Your jewellery is important to you so it is a worthwhile practice to have it correctly valued. This is to ensure that a particular piece of jewellery or watch is insured against loss or damage. As your local jeweller we offer a full range of specialist services, including valuations. As a registered member of the Guild of Valuers we provide a valuation service of the highest quality and accuracy.
The Valuation is a detailed examination of your jewellery, sufficient that if the item were recovered after loss it could be returned to you. The current valuation is the final specialist input. How much is the thing worth? That is where our experience, contacts and extensive records come into play.
The Valuation provides a basis for an insurer to pay out in the event of loss, and for you to insure the goods for a sufficient value that will compensate you for the loss, when your goods are replaced. In the event of loss, you only know you have good insurance when it comes to the settlement of your claim. So make sure you fully realise what your insurer is insuring and what they think will happen once the loss has occurred.
We will assess your jewellery for its correct and accurate valuation. Any minor repairs that may need to be undertaken will be noted. When your jewellery is returned, you will also receive:
A certificate of valuation, and notes detailing any potential repairs that may be needed.
