Jewellery Valuations for Insurance Purposes, Probate, Sale or Loss.
Our next Valuation Days are Saturday 22nd March and Saturday 17th May 2025.
Heidi Kjeldsen Ltd will carry out the assessment of your jewellery on our premises, and you may collect your items after the valuation day.
Our valuation portfolio is beautifully presented, with all details and photographs of your jewellery. We ask you to allow three to four weeks to complete, depending on the complexity and amount of jewellery being valued.
You will not have to worry about contacting us, we will inform you as soon as your documents are ready.
Our highly qualified, independent NAJ, FIRV (National Association of Jewellers, Fellow of the Institute of Registered Valuers) who will assess condition, age and value according to the current market.
We charge £100 for the portfolio and that covers one item. Each subsequent items costs an additional £60. However, if any of the items are valued in excess of £10,000.00 an additional fee of 1% over that value will be charged in addition to the portfolio costs.
We very much look forward to welcoming you.
Why Jewellery Valuations are so important?
It’s wise to protect one’s valuable assets, such as jewellery to ensure that your cherished possessions are preserved for future generations. Jewellery is usually insured under your Household Insurance and is covered for loss or damage, including Gemstones or Diamonds.
Jewellery requires valuing for insurance protection, property division, probate matters or private sales from an established and reputable jeweller and is required today by most insurers. Having current valuation documents will leave you in a much more secure position with your insurers going forward.
Clients often express their gratitude for the comprehensive documentation which has enabled a swift and fair compensation with their insurers when issues arise.
Naturally, wear and tear will NOT be covered by insurance, as this is down to the individual’s care of their own jewellery, but damage or loss is insurable and therefore a wise decision to have done.
The procedure for valuing your jewellery:
- Book an appointment for your Jewellery to be securely assessed in our Oakham showroom before the valuation day.
- Please ensure you bring any documents relating to your pieces with you as they add to the provenance of the jewellery and are therefore important.
- We will check, clean your jewellery and if repairs are found to be necessary, we will advise you.
- Every valuation includes a beautifully presented Portfolio with a copy for your insurers.
- Book your appointment to collect your jewellery at a time to suit you after the valuation day.
We also suggest that you approach our own insurer T.H. March, who are experts in the area of Jewellery Insurance and who will offer you a very comprehensive insurance service. They will gladly estimate for your personal Jewellery cover, and this can often be a satisfactory solution when your Home Contents Insurance is being adversely affected by high cover for valuable items of Jewellery. Please quote the reference AH706T in all communications with T.H. March and they will ensure your Jewellery is replaced by Heidi Kjeldsen Ltd with ease.
