Online Engagement Ring Valuation and Jewellery Valuation:
Easy, Accurate, and Convenient
Select an option and complete the form to submit your item for an online valuation.
Why do you need a valuation?
Getting jewellery insurance for an engagement ring, precious stones, watches or an expensive piece of jewellery is important as it provides financial protection in case of loss, damage, or theft. An engagement ring for example is often a valuable and sentimental piece of jewellery, and having insurance can help ensure that you are not left with a financial burden if something happens to it!
To get your jewellery insured, you will typically need to provide an appraisal of the item's value to the insurer, to either add to a home or contents insurance policy or when purchasing a separate insurance policy that covers the jewellery item specifically.
Expert Diamond Guide can provide a valuation that will ensure you are covered for any form of loss, taking into account potential inflation and replacement value.

What I need from you
Types of valuation services offered
I offer an online valuation service for various types of jewellery that include engagement rings, loose diamonds, watches and any other jewellery really that consists of precious metals and precious stones!
I will provide an insurance replacement valuation as this is the most common type and is crucial to securing adequate coverage for your engagement ring and jewellery. I will consider the current market prices and retail prices for your items, as well as accounting for potential inflation to ensure your items are fully insured to at least the replacement value.
Not to be confused with resale valuation
Insurance value is not to be confused with the resale value of the items, which many jewellers will fail to mention. This value will be completely different to an insurance valuation. A resale valuation is helpful when you want to sell your items through a private sale or to a jeweller - both of which will be a different figure too.
Selling a natural diamond engagement ring for example you can usually expect a loss of at least 30-40% of what you paid for it. You will lose out on all the costs involved to make a ring; diamond acquisition, design, labour, overheads and the profit made by jeweller, after all it is a business. Plus if they were to buy the diamond back from you, they'd want to buy it at below market price as otherwise they would have no reason or draw to buy it from you. It will have an older certificate, will tie up capital and may take a while to sell.
Best bet for maximising the resell value of a precious stone is through a private sale, where you can undercut current retail prices.

The factors that affect the value of your jewellery
The value of your jewellery depends on various factors that can influence its appeal, rarity, and desirability. Some of the main factors that any appraiser considers when valuing jewellery are:
Type and Design: The type of jewellery you have, whether it's a ring, necklace, bracelet, or earrings, and its design, whether it's classic, modern, or antique, can affect its value.
Metal and Purity: The precious metals used in your jewellery, whether it's gold, platinum, or others, and its purity (measured in karats or fineness) can also impact its value.
Gems and Stones: The presence, quality, and quantity of gems and stones in your jewellery, such as diamonds, emeralds, rubies, or sapphires, can significantly enhance or diminish its value.
Condition and Quality: The condition and quality of your precious jewellery, including its shine, lustre, and wear, can also influence its value.
Market and Demand: The current market trends and demand for your type of jewellery can affect its value as well, especially if it's a rare or unique piece.
The importance of reliable and accurate valuation for insurance purposes
A professional valuation of your engagement ring and jewellery is essential for obtaining adequate insurance coverage in case of loss, theft, or damage.
Most insurance companies require a up to date jewellery valuation, and if your items are undervalued or overvalued, you may end up paying too much or not receiving full compensation. Moreover, an accurate jewellery valuation ensures that it's easier to replace or repair them if needed.
