JEWELLERY COLLECTION FOLIO

JVL can prepare a valuation report or schedule on your jewellery collection, which will include the items details, diamond grading, coloured stone identification and quality assessment, digital photo and value. This report is ideal for insurance purposes, estate distribution, wills, probate, divorce settlement or as a document of your personal assets and issued with customer information.

UPDATED VALUATION REPORT

A copy of the valuation is stored in our archive for six years. Anytime during these six years, you can have the item(s) revalued at a reduced fee. We would recommend a re-valuation every two to three years depending on your insurance policy.

Because of constantly changing gold prices, increases in international diamond prices, and a variable exchange rate, it can be hard to keep jewellery insured for the right amount. Unfortunately, people often only discover they are under-insured when they make a claim

Keeping The Value Of Your Jewellery Up To Date Is easy!
