IN-HOUSE VALUERS AND JEWELLERS.
ASK AWAY
In a fluctuating market with so many methods of manufacture, your items need to be carefully inspected, measured and described. If your items are covered by precise and up to date valuations, in the unfortunate event of theft or loss, your piece can be replaced like-for-like. So, valuations provides proof of ownership, and also ensures your piece can be exactly replicated.
The rigorous study and annual updating of education is why a NCJV registered valuer is recognised in Australia. Each valuer must have gemology and diamond grading diplomas plus a minimum of four years of experience in the jewellery trade to be able to qualify as a valuer.
The high and continuing standard of education is what a consumer needs to accurately grade, price and describe your precious items of jewellery.

When doing an updated valuation, we conduct a thorough process to confirm that the gemstones are identical, the grading is correct, and the market value for each gemstone and gold is accurate. We apply special prices for multiple valuations.
Valuations are obtained mostly for insurance purposes and is generally for full retail replacement – not to be used as a basis on its monetary value for resale. In the case of an item being lost or stolen, a jeweller can recreate the piece to its equivalent worth according to its most recent valuation (or to the amount it’s insured for depending on your policy).
We can perform a complimentary assessment of your entire estate and confirm which jewellery pieces are of worth. This will help you decide what should be valued and what doesn’t need to be.
We work with many executors of wills to help them find a fair way to distribute or liquidate the estate.
For items that are not jewellery, we partner with Roxbury’s Auction House as they are the experts in coin collections, banknotes, stamp collections, and more.
