Accurate jewellery valuations from Gem Zoo Ltd
If you have antique, estate or vintage jewellery, there can be a number of reasons that you might want a valuation. For insurance purposes, to sell some jewellery, or to split up a number of jewellery pieces more fairly for inheritance. Gem Zoo Ltd provides professional valuations that not only establish the precise financial worth of your jewellery but also can provide a history of each individual piece, offering you a renewed appreciation of its unique story.
Please get in touch to make an appointment to discuss your jewellery valuation needs.
Valuations for selling jewellery
Gem Zoo Ltd understands that antique jewellery can have widely varying values depending on the cut, color, clarity, and carat weight of gemstones, as well as the quality of the metal and craftsmanship. Glen's professional valuation service lets you know how much jewellery pieces are worth which equips you with the necessary information to make the most informed decision. An insurance valuation is not the same as an accurate cash realisation value if selling an item. Glen is happy to explain this when you meet, and let you know how much you could expect to sell the piece for in different circumstances, and why. Gem Zoo Ltd look forward to being your trusted guide through your jewellery valuation journey.
Jewellery valuations for insurance purposes
Generally, insurance companies have a specified dollar amount over which they require a comprehensive valuation of a piece of jewellery. Please make an appointment to come and see Glen so he can assess your collection and advise which items would require full valuations for insurance purposes. If you are wanting valuations for all your jewellery he can give an abbreviated valuation for other items (which can keep your valuation costs down) after removing any fashion/costume jewellery that does not require a valuation. The final report will then include full valuations outlining the specific characteristics influencing the value of the jewellery for your insurance company, and the balance as a list valuation.
These reports are not only able to be used for insurance purposes but can provide documented proof for estate planning, or provide information for buyers if you are considering selling antique jewellery privately.

Glen has had specialised training in gemology which includes a deep understanding of gemstones, diamonds, and precious metals, and has also had many years of experience assessing, appraising and valuing jewellery.
