CLW Jewellery Valuations came highly recommended from a friend. Having spoken directly I was provided with lots of information along with a variety of options in regards to proceeding. We proceeded with a full valuation of the item and within the agreed time we received a full report. The detail that CLW Jewellery Valuations went into was outstanding. We would have no hesitation in using CLW Jewellery Valuations in the future and looking forward to doing so.

wHAT IS A VALUATION, AND WHY DO I NEED ONE?

A jewellery valuation is a detailed, expert assessment of your jewellery or watches, providing an accurate description, quality analysis, and a professionally determined value for a specific purpose. It is far more than simply “what something is worth.” A proper valuation offers a comprehensive record of your item’s characteristics; such as gemstones, metal fineness, craftsmanship, condition, and provenance, supported by specialist knowledge and gemmological expertise.

Why Is a Valuation Important?

Insurance Protection

To ensure your precious items are fully covered, insurers require an up-to-date valuation. Market values can fluctuate, so an accurate valuation ensures you’re neither under-insured nor over-insured. In the event of loss, theft, or damage, the valuation acts as essential evidence of ownership and value.

Peace of Mind

A valuation provides a complete, professional record of your jewellery or watch. Should anything unexpected happen, you have all the important details safely documented.

Family & Estate Planning

Whether distributing assets fairly or preparing legal documents such as wills or probate, a valuation offers clarity and transparency for family members and executors.

Resale or Part-Exchange

While valuations for insurance differ from market appraisals, a professional valuation can guide you when selling or part-exchanging by giving you a clearer understanding of your item’s attributes and authenticity.

Updated, Accurate Knowledge

Jewellery and watch markets evolve; precious metals fluctuate, gemstone prices shift, and brand desirability changes. Regular valuations (typically every 2–3 years for insurance) keep your documentation current.

Why Choose a Professional Valuer?

A qualified valuer combines gemmological training, specialist equipment, and years of expertise to give you a reliable, independent assessment. As a registered valuer and FGA-qualified gemmologist, I provide thorough, evidence-backed valuations designed to protect you and your treasured pieces.
