JEWELLERY BOX ASSESSMENT
A unique and rare opportunity to discover more about the contents of your jewellery box during a one-to-one consultation with an industry expert registered valuer.
Bring your collection along to your pre-booked appointment, where one of our Guild Valuers will examine your precious items offering their expertise and advice with an insight on the potential history, provenance, stone and metal identification. You will be advised on whether your items require a full valuation and the type of valuation appropriate.
Please note no values will be given on the day, however there will be an opportunity to book your items in for a full valuation appraisal should you wish.
These popular events run monthly and upcoming dates can be found on our Valuation Events search. Alternatively one-to-one consultations can be booked outside of these dates, subject to availability. All appointments must be booked in advance and will last up to 30 minutes.
Supporting Documentation
It is vital that you bring any previous documents, reports and certificates along with your items.
Often stones are weighed before setting and reports/certificates will have this information recorded. Any watch purchase receipts or previous repair information is also required. This enables the valuer to record relevant information in your new valuation document and minimalises any potential queries.
