Why should I value my jewellery?
INSURANCE: If an unfortunate event, like loss or damage, occurs, having an accurate valuation means your policy will reflect the true worth of your pieces. You don’t want to be under insured if that time comes! Definitely check with your insurance company for further details on your policy in relation to jewellery claims.
Hidden Treasures: Secondly, a valuation can uncover hidden treasures. You might discover that an inherited piece or a vintage find is worth more than you thought. This knowledge could be both surprising and financially beneficial if you ever decide to sell or upgrade. Valuations are also great for helping with estate planning.
Regular valuations (check how often your insurer needs one done; it’s normally every few years) keeps your jewellery’s worth up-to-date with market trends and inflation. It’s also a great time to have your jewellery cleaned and checked over.
