Insurance valuations are used for obtaining insurance cover so that lost or damaged items can be restored, purchased again or, if neither of these is possible, that suitable cash compensation can be obtained. A well written valuation can also help you remember exactly what you had and help your retailer or jewellery craftsman in replacing  your lost jewellery.

In the event of a loss or theft, when you are trying to cope with the trauma that such an event can bring, the insurance valuation can help to ease the stress by providing a detailed list with pictures. The valuation is also important evidence in the event of a dispute over ownership.

It is becoming usual for insurance companies to insist that jewellery items over a certain value are specified on the insurance schedule and valued by an NAG registered valuer. When deciding which items to send for valuation we recommend that everything in your collection is included. We will pre-assess the pieces and in the event that you have some low value items to appraise we will group similar pieces together and give a slightly less detailed, but nonetheless effective, description and value them as one item group. In this way we save you the expense of the individual per item fee.
