Information
Profile A brief outline
Retailers Some retail jewellers who provide a valuation service.
Declaration form
If you wish to submit items for valuation there is some information that you can provide us which will make the final document more accurate and informative. This has particular relevance to new goods purchased in the last three years.
The information you supply should make reaching a settlement more straightforward. The declaration form asks you for sales information, the age and origin of the article, with other relevant details and this will help us to pin-point the market in which replacement will probably be made.
If you don't have receipts or other papers relating to the sale just tick NO; a valuation can still be done, but if you do have these documents we need to see them in order to give you the very best possible service. A signed declaration form must be submitted with every valuation.

Samples
Please explore these files which show samples of the component parts of a valuation. Of course the final document looks a lot nicer with headers and a cover but they will give you some idea of what a good valuation contains.
Letter of transmittal. This introductory letter lays out a few points about your valuation and provides additional information which forms part of the valuation document.
Schedule. The body of the valuation with descriptions, measurements and thumbnail pictures. The values, pictures and the total sum are in this section.
Notes. The notes re-enforce the schedule and give a definition of the markets (new, second-hand etc) in which replacement is most likely to be made. 
Glossary. Every valuation has a glossary to explain some of the terms used.
