Pricing Policy

At Jewellery valuation Laboratory, we believe in transparency and fairness when charging for valuations, giving you high-quality documentation with extensive detail of your items and reasonable fees.

Valuations charges are not based on the value of your item, and there is no charge for an initial assessment to identify which of your items require a valuation. The fee will apply if it becomes a consultation and no valuation is required.

Once the items have been viewed, and the scope of work is determined, a clear quote and time frame will be provided. It’s usually a fixed fee per item so that you know upfront how much the valuation fee will be.

All your requirements will be discussed at the initial consultation.

Valuation Pricelist

For multiple items, it can be a fixed price, by the hour or a contracted amount. The quote will be based on the number of items, the scope of work and the estimated time required. We can give you a quote and turnaround time for the lot upon inspection of the items. There are no hidden charges.

Technical reports and complex items are charged at a higher rate as these items are more complex and may require extensive or additional research. Technical reports will be charged hourly and quoted once the items have been inspected.

The fee will be quoted in advance so that you will always know what the cost is for your valuation.

TurnAround Time

Turnaround time depends on the cue ahead, quantity and complexity of items and will be all finalised at the initial consultation.
