Valuation and Loss Consultancy.

Service for every requirement :-

Insurance, Probate, Family Division, Sale between private parties, Facsimile Reproduction.

The value of your Jewellery and Silver etc. can be an important part of your capital assets, yet the revaluation to provide adequate cover is quite often neglected - so often a client who has suffered a loss finds that their existing cover is insufficient.

A PERIODICAL REVIEW OF VALUES AND POLICIES IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.

Any valuation over three years old could be in need of review.


Gem and metal testing is comprehensively catered for.

If however we find a gem or pearl that needs a further opinion - as members of the National Association of Goldsmiths and users of the Gemmological Association of Great Britain we are able to seek that ultimate ruling for a modest fee.

Whilst for most jewellery a written description is adequate, some pieces of jewellery are almost indescribable and a photograph is the only means of identification, this will be undertaken where necessary or as requested.

A valuation is far more complex and thorough than merely a brief description - i.e. Ring and a value.

There are two parts to a valuation, the value and a complete description.

Diamond ring: £4200 is totally inadequate but itemised in a different way.

Single stone diamond ring, round modern brilliant cut diamond in eight claw 18 ct white gold setting with an 18ct yellow gold shank with pointed shoulders split with chenier.

Makers: BKT Assay London 1978

Diamond size by measurement: 0.75ct

Weight of ring: 3.4 gms.

Finger size P           £4200

 ... would enable your ring to be identified with ease. Obviously such descriptions require and reveal a close familiarity with all aspects of the jewellery trade and our descriptions are complete and accurate. We can also photograph the item for added clarity of detail.

Our records are coded and secure.

 ALL GOODS ARE ADEQUATELY INSURED WHILE ON THE PREMISES.

APPOINTMENTS ARE NECESSARY WHEN BRINGING GOODS FOR VALUATION AS SECURITY FOR BOTH PARTIES REQUIRES THE LISTING AND BAGGING OF EACH ITEM.
