WHY US?
Why Clients Choose Independent Valuation Advice
Unbiased & Objective
Our professional valuations are prepared independently of retail, dealer or auction environments. Our priority is providing the most accurate and informed advice for the purpose of the valuation.
Specialist Market Knowledge
Our experience across both open and retail markets, coupled with extensive education informs accurate and considered valuations.
Professional Accreditation
Detailed reports prepared by qualified valuers holding FGA and DGA credentials, and members of the Jewellery Valuer’s Association and Institute of Registered Valuers.
Discreet Service
Private appointments handled with professionalism, sensitivity and confidentiality.
PRIVATE CLIENTS
Registered Insurance Valuations
Regular, accurate insurance valuations are essential in protecting fine jewellery and watches against changing market conditions and subsequent over or under-insurance.
We provide detailed valuation documentation for individual pieces, luxury watches and larger private collections, supported by market knowledge, detailed research and specialist expertise.
Collections can become unintentionally underinsured over time as precious metal, gemstone and luxury watch markets continually evolve. Regular valuations ensure a true like-for-like replacement in the event of loss or damage.
Many underwriters recognise the expertise and high standards of registered valuers, and will therefore only provide cover on reports completed by a registered valuer.
