DOCUMENTATION
Understand the purpose of a valuation
A jewellery valuation records identifying details and an opinion of value for a stated purpose and date. It can support an insurance conversation, but it is not the same as a selling price or cash offer.
WHAT IT RECORDS
A snapshot with a defined purpose
Value basis
The type of value being stated, such as an estimated replacement value, together with the valuation date.
Supporting detail
Photographs and relevant purchase or certification references where available.
KEEP IT CURRENT
Insurance needs can change
Metal, gemstone and replacement costs change over time. Review documents on the recommended date and check the expectations of your own insurer.
Store invoices, valuation documents, photographs and grading reports securely. Always confirm cover, exclusions and claim requirements directly with the insurer.
