An outline of the service we provide to support the retail jeweller

Modern day trading conditions put increasing pressure on the retail jeweller.  Outsourcing time-consuming but nonetheless vital services is the key to maximising your focus and time. With an ever more litigious public, staying abreast of modern treatments and synthetics is no longer possible for the busy jeweller focused on maintaining and expanding their business.

Our standard document is colour co-ordinated to match our dark green folder and is embossed on the front with gold lettering. We are very proud of the high standard of our presentation and we invite you to take a look at the sample document here.

Our quality services give you time and peace of mind. 

Store Visits

We specialise in "store visits", the traditional service where we visit your store on a pre-booked day to perform valuations on items previously taken in from your clients.  Each valuation is carefully checked and the documents are forwarded to you within a few days for presentation for your customers. The items for valuation do not leave your premises, thus giving your clients total confidence in your service to them.

Off-site Service

A postal and delivery/collection valuation service is also available with a speedy turnaround. All goods-in-transit and goods-in-safe insurance is supplied by the industry leaders -  TH March & Co, as is our professional indemnity cover.

Valuation Days

We also perform "Valuation Days" on your behalf.  Your clients can meet the valuer and discuss their items whilst the appraisal is being carried out.  

We firmly believe that producing and printing a valuation on the spot is not in the client's or your best interest.  Therefore a fully researched and checked document is produced later at our office and sent on within a few days. 

Please contact us for details of how to set up one of these interesting and rewarding days.

All of these services are available to jewellery retailers, antique dealers and auction houses. Whether you would just like some assistance for busy periods, to cover a key member of your staff or you would like us to handle your valuation service on a long-term basis - we can be of assistance to you. 

Note:
For your protection as well as ours and that of your clients, we do have a couple of procedures that we insist on as part of doing business with you.  One of these requirements is the Take-In Procedure. If you would like to familiarise yourself with this important procedure, please feel free to download our Trade Consignment and Declaration Form
