Jewellery Valuations: Why Accurate Appraisals Matter
If you own high-value jewellery, especially pieces featuring diamonds and gemstones, having accurate and up-to-date jewellery valuations is essential. Whether you’re insuring, selling, inheriting, or simply assessing your collection, a professional valuation provides peace of mind and financial clarity. At Polished Diamonds, we specialise in creating beautiful jewellery, and we offer certified jewellery appraisal services tailored to your needs.
What Is a Jewellery Valuation?
A jewellery valuation is a detailed report that states the precise value of your item based on current market conditions. This includes an assessment of:
- Diamond cut, clarity, colour, and carat weight
- Metal type and quality (e.g., 18K gold, platinum)
- Craftsmanship and brand (if applicable)
- Market demand for similar items
- Condition and provenance
Each piece is examined by GIA-trained gemologists using industry-standard tools and valuation methodologies. You’ll receive a formal valuation certificate that’s accepted by insurance companies, solicitors, and auction houses.
Why Jewellery Valuations Are Essential
- Insurance Purposes: One of the most common reasons for a valuation is to insure your diamond jewellery. In the event of theft, loss, or damage, a proper valuation ensures you are compensated fairly and accurately.
- Resale or Upgrading: Planning to sell your polished diamond ring or upgrade your collection? A valuation helps you set a realistic price based on the diamond’s market value, increasing buyer trust and negotiation power.
- Estate & Probate: For inherited jewellery, professional valuations help with equitable division of assets, estate tax assessments, and legal requirements in probate cases.
- Divorce Settlements: In legal separations, valuations ensure that all parties receive fair asset distributions when jewellery is involved.

How Often Should You Revalue Jewellery?
