JEWELLERY AND WATCHES VALUATION SERVICES
Our jewellery and watches valuation service
allows us to tailor the valuation to precise
requirements, from a few precious items to a
complete collection.
The valuation can include jewellery, watches,
gemstones and precious metals. All of our
jewellery valuers are either members of
the Institute of Registered Valuers (IRV) or
members of the Jewellery Valuers Association
(JVA). They have been carefully selected
because of their reputation and experience.
Their qualifications mean they are able to grade
stones and also check clasps and settings.
