Valuations
We have the only 2 Registered Valuers in the region.
​
Members of the National Council Jewellery Valuers(NCJV) must undergo training in all the key areas of gemmology study, gemstone grading and the detection of synthetic gemstones. They must also commit to ongoing education to keep up-to-date with industry changes in order to maintain their membership as a Registered Valuer.

If you have pieces which you wish to be valued or identified, please contact us to book an appointment with one of our Registered Valuers.

Your jewellery is carefully assessed and is then valued using current market research.

An NCJV Registered Valuer undergoes years of training to be able to provide this service.
