Our Jewellery Appraisal Services Include
Insurance Appraisals
Protect your jewellery with accurate replacement value documentation for insurance coverage in the event of loss, theft, or damage.
Estate Appraisals
Professional valuations for inheritance, estate settlement, probate, and family division purposes.
Resale & Liquidation Appraisals
Understand the realistic market value of your jewellery before selling, consigning, or auctioning your pieces.
Antique & Vintage Jewellery Appraisals
Specialized evaluations for period jewellery, heirloom pieces, and vintage collections, considering rarity, craftsmanship, age, and condition.
Diamond & Gemstone Identification
Advanced gemological testing helps determine whether stones are natural, treated, synthetic, or laboratory-grown.
Luxury Watch & Branded Jewellery Authentication
Assessment and authentication of luxury watches and branded jewellery pieces using detailed inspection and market verification.
Travel Document
A Jewellery Travel Document helps demonstrate to customs authorities that the items were owned before travel and are not intended for sale or import in another country. This can help avoid unnecessary duties, taxes, delays, or disputes upon re-entry into your home country.
Why Professional Jewellery Appraisals Matter
Jewellery values change over time due to fluctuations in diamond pricing, precious metal markets, gemstone demand, and global trends. An outdated or inaccurate appraisal can leave valuable items underinsured or improperly valued.
A professional appraisal provides:
- Accurate documentation
- Peace of mind
- Insurance protection
- Ownership verification
- Reliable resale guidance
- Estate planning support
Our evaluations are performed using professional gemological equipment and careful examination methods to ensure accuracy and transparency.
When Should Jewellery Be Appraised?
We recommend updating your jewellery appraisal:
- After purchasing fine jewellery
- Every 3–5 years for insurance purposes
- Before resale or auction
- After inheritance
- Following major repairs or restoration
- During estate planning
Keeping your appraisal current helps maintain accurate value records and proper protection.
Diamond and Gemstone Evaluation
Diamonds are graded according to the internationally recognized 4Cs:
- Carat Weight
- Colour
- Clarity
- Cut
Gemstones are evaluated based on:
- Species and variety
- Colour quality
- Transparency
- Origin (when determinable)
- Treatments or enhancements
- Cutting style and proportions
Advanced gemological equipment may be used to identify treatments such as heat treatment, fracture filling, irradiation, diffusion, or synthetic origin.
Importance of Documentation
A professionally documented appraisal helps:
- Simplify insurance claims
- Establish ownership
- Support legal and estate matters
- Verify authenticity
- Maintain accurate inventory records
Clear documentation is especially important for custom-made jewellery, antique pieces, branded luxury jewellery, and investment-grade gemstones.

To provide every client with dedicated attention and confidentiality, all jewellery appraisals are conducted by appointment only.
This allows us to:
- Allocate sufficient examination time
- Offer one-on-one consultations
- Ensure secure handling of valuables
- Provide a detailed evaluation and discussion
Appointments can be scheduled in advance based on the type and number of items requiring appraisal.
