We enlist the services of a fully independent jewellery valuation specialist to complete valuations. For customers this is an important point of difference. It means My Jewellery Shop has no conflict of interest and work solely with you to deliver accurate, unprejudiced valuations.

Reasons for a Valuation

Having your jewellery independently valued is important for your own protection – you are taking a risk by not having it valued. Here are three key reasons:
 

Insurance Claims

Many valuations are for insurance purposes with most insurers insisting on an update every two to four years (refer to your insurer’s product disclosure statement).

Your insurance company may refuse to compensate you for the full value of your precious jewellery and gemstones if they have not been professionally assessed.

A claim for lost or stolen jewellery is far more likely to be favourably processed if you have a current valuation certificate.
 

Proof of Ownership

It can be very difficult to prove you own jewellery – or that it even exists – if you do not have a receipt or if it has been handed down through generations of family members.

A valuation certificate with a high definition photo is proof that the stolen or lost piece exists, it indicates the true value and is a record of possession.
 

Selling Jewellery

An independent appraisal is vital to ensure you receive a good price when selling your treasures.

You are far more likely to receive a fair deal if you are armed with detailed information about your piece which matches it with market interest and trends.

To obtain a valuation for your jewellery pieces, simply bring them into our store, and we will take care of sending them off to be expertly appraised on your behalf.
