What to look for when having your jewellery valued ?
Look for an N.C.J.V. registered valuer!
Q: Why do I Need to have my jewellery valued?
A: Your important pieces of jewellery need to be protected against loss, theft, and accident by insurance. The trauma of a burglary or other unforeseen disaster is compounded when insurance will only cover a small percentage of your precious treasures.
Alternatively you may need an estate valuation, or a divorce settlement, or a quick fire sale Auction reserve price.
Q: Why use a registered Valuer ?
A: Registered valuers have years of experience in the jewellery trade, and have undergone studies in the fields of Gemmology, Diamond grading, Diamond Technology, and jewellery valuing in order to gain Government recognised Diplomas, Insurance and Registration with the Valuers council.
Their qualifications are the only ones recognised by the Gemmological association of Australia, and the Insurance council of Australia. Registered Valuers must attend seminars and regular update courses to maintain registration and be equipped to place an accurate value on your jewellery.
Q: How often should valuations be done?
A: It Is important that you have your items updated every two or three years.
To ensure that you will be able to replace them in the event of loss if prices increase.
To ensure that you are not paying excessive premiums if prices decrease.
To note any wear and tear that needs repairing, we also clean your jewellery for you .
Q: Why is there a cost for performing a valuation?
Isn't it just a matter of looking at the piece and guessing as price?
A: NO! (if I was that psychic I would have won lotto by now).
The valuation is done from a scientific approach, using the latest technology in testing equipment and procedures, current tabulations of precious and semi-precious gemstones and diamonds. Combined with a strong knowledge of the manufacturing techniques used in the various markets from antique, imported, and today's local jewellery construction.
The valuation is performed after your jewellery has received a clean and a comprehensive inspection. You will then receive a valuation certificate featuring a full description of your jewellery, including gram and carat weights, the identification of the type of stones colour clarity and cut. Manufacturing techniques, a colour photo to help identify your pieces and it's current financial value, for the function an purpose required.
Q: I am not sure what I've got and if it is worth valuing?
A: Please bring everything in and at the point of "take in " I can sort out the valuable pieces from the rest, and narrow down what needs to be valued, the function and the purpose.
