Maintaining current market knowledge is an essential part of providing accurate and well-researched valuations. The Jewellery & Watch Consultancy regularly undertakes continuing professional development through industry conferences, gemmological seminars, museum study, trade exhibitions and professional events. These activities help ensure that valuation methodology reflects developments in the jewellery and watch markets, gemstone treatments, manufacturing techniques and collecting trends.
