Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a jewellery valuation cost?
Professional valuations typically cost £75–£125 for the first item and £35–£65 for subsequent items. Watch valuations are usually £100–£130 due to the additional authentication required. Our online estimate is completely free.
Do I need a valuation for insurance?
Yes — most insurers require a professional valuation for any single item worth over £1,500. Without one, you risk being under-insured. Items should be re-valued every 3–5 years, or sooner if precious metal prices have risen significantly.
What's the difference between insurance and probate valuations?
Insurance valuations give a "replacement value" — what it would cost to buy an equivalent new item. Probate valuations give an "open market value" — what the item would realistically sell for. Probate values are typically 30–50% lower than insurance values.
How often should I get jewellery re-valued?
Every 3–5 years as a rule of thumb. However, with gold prices rising approximately 15% per year recently, items bought even a few years ago may now be significantly under-insured. If your last valuation is more than 3 years old, it's worth updating.
What qualifications should a valuer have?
Look for valuers registered with the Institute of Registered Valuers (IRV) through the National Association of Jewellers (NAJ), or members of the Jewellery Valuers Association (JVA). Gemmological qualifications like FGA or DGA from Gem-A are also important indicators of expertise.
Can I get a valuation online?
You can get a free indicative estimate online using our valuation tool — just describe your item and upload photos. For a legally recognised valuation certificate (needed for insurance claims or probate), you'll need an in-person assessment by a qualified valuer.
