Insurance Valuations

We at Trinity Goldsmiths are very proud of our resident valuer!

As a Fellow of The Jewellery Valuers Association, Mr Graham Price FJVA is highly respected for his knowledge in all areas of the jewellery trade. He actually lectures in old cut diamonds to his peers.

Our clients are increasingly asked for insurance valuations by their insurance company in order to have items fully covered in the event of loss or damage. An JVA valuation is recognised throughout the insurance industry with valuations being automatically uploaded to a secure website for the insurance company to access. This ensures total peace of mind to our clients that their jewellery has not only been comprehensively valued but also there will be no argument with the valuation.

A valuation for insurance is a very complex and long-winded process. Each stone has to be measured and graded. In the case of branded goods, contact is often made with the manufacturer, the premise being that, should the worse happen, the item of jewellery could be replaced exactly.
In addition to the comprehensive notes, our insurance valuations also contain professional photographs of the items and information relating to how Mr Price came to the quality and cost of the item.

All valuations are performed on the premises.

The purchase of your item of jewellery is the beginning of your journey with Trinity Goldsmiths. We clean and check your jewellery free of charge forever. We recommend that your jewellery is seen by us at least twice a year so we can examine the security of claws, make sure the stones are fully secure and return it to you in pristine condition.

All metal is polished and the item is then placed in our industrial ultra sonic cleaner. Please be aware that rhodium plating for white gold that has become discoloured over time is a specialised and chargeable service. We now offer onsite rhodium plating to compliment our clean and check service.

Prices vary depending on the items
