JEWELLERY VALUATIONS
At Arpella Jewellery, we understand your jewellery is more than just an accessory — it's a cherished investment. Whether you're safeguarding a family heirloom or ensuring a recent purchase is properly protected, a professional valuation offers peace of mind and practical protection.
Why Get Your Jewellery Valued?
A professional valuation is essential for:
-
Insurance Purposes
Most insurers require a current valuation certificate to cover your jewellery in full. Without one, your claim may be underpaid or denied. -
Proof of Ownership
In the unfortunate event of loss or theft, your valuation acts as an official record to support your insurance claim. -
Estate Planning or Probate
Valuations are often needed for legal and financial purposes when managing an estate or inheritance. -
Resale or Trade-In
Knowing your jewellery’s true market value is essential when selling, gifting, or upgrading a piece.
How Our Valuations Work

-
