Expert jewellery testing, appraisal and probate valuation services in Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and across the South of England.
I am a Fellow of the Gemmological Association of Great Britain, qualified with distinction, and have over a decade of experience working with solicitors, auction houses and private clients.
Careful gem and metal testing to identify composition, authenticity and material quality, forming the basis of accurate valuations.
Probate-focused assessments with HMRC-compliant valuations prepared to the required standard for estate administration.
It is important to use a qualified and experienced professional, as synthetic and imitation materials are increasingly common and accurate valuations can be difficult for non-specialists. It is also not always obvious that certain items are of value; on several occasions I have found "hidden gems" for clients amongst otherwise unremarkable items.
For a fixed fee, jewellery is collected (if necessary), tested, appraised, and a HMRC-compliant valuation is produced.
If required, through my trusted relationships with auction houses and gold recycling services I can help clients to realise the best value for every item, and take care of handling the sale process at no extra cost.
