GuildPro Valuation Software

At the heart of the Guild is our bespoke Valuation Software GuildPro. The concept was born in 1990 and has evolved immensely through the years to become the UK’s leading valuation software tool for expert jewellery valuers. 

Each GuildPro Valuation is registered to our secure online database e-register. Each valuation is registered using unique reference numbers and orphaned data, ensuring water tight security between you and your valuation.

In the event of a loss or theft, your insurance company and the police can be given access to the database to assist with your claim and aid towards reuniting you with any recovered items. You can apply to view your valuation through My Portfolio here.
