Jewellery Valuation
A valuation is simply an independent, written assessment of what a piece is worth, and what it is worth depends on why you need it. Insurance, probate, resale, or your own records all call for different figures. The valuers in this category examine jewellery properly and issue reports that insurers and other third parties will accept, with clear descriptions, condition notes and photographs where required.
What a proper Hatton Garden valuation looks at
A good valuer weighs the gemstones on the four Cs, carat weight, cut, colour and clarity, then the metal type and purity, the quality of the work, and any hallmarks or maker's marks. The 12 specialists listed here can also tell you which type of valuation you actually need, since a replacement value for insurance is rarely the same as a market figure for sale or estate matters.
- Is this for insurance, probate or resale? Say so up front.
- Is the valuer independent of any sale they might offer?
- How recent must the document be for your insurer?
Diamond and metal prices move, so it is sensible to refresh a valuation every few years, and insurers often ask for current paperwork at renewal. If a stone needs a fresh grading report rather than a value, the gemmological certification specialists are the ones to see. Browse the valuers below and book an appointment.
