General procedure for valuations include:

• Take-in Your details and a list of the items to value are recorded. We determine what type of valuation you require (Retail Replacement, Divorce, Estate, Second Hand).
  

• Assessment Diamonds & gem materials are identified, estimated for weight and graded. Jewellery is carefully assessed for quality and metal purity/type. Appropriate value is assigned using current market research.
  

• Certificate After the appraisal you will receive a valuation certificate which contains a full description of your jewellery, including gram and carat weights, and a statement explaining the reason for the valuation and the intended market.

A valuation is so much more than looking at an item and guessing a price. It is a complex process that uses specialised equipment and requires a high level of expertise to determine the quality and value of all the parts of the jewellery item. Haddys have a team of highly experienced and trained valuers, registered with the professional association National Council of Jewellery Valuers (NCJV).

The cost to have a valuation prepared by us depends on the complexity of the jewellery and the number of items to value. We do not charge a percentage based on the final value nor do we charge a fixed fee per item. Please contact us by email, phone or by uploading your image on this site to get a quote.

A valuation is a document which records your name, the details and value of your jewellery. If you suffer from loss or burglary a valuation certificate is proof of ownership and value for your insurance company, the police and for a jeweller to replace the item. The trauma of an unforeseen disaster is compounded, if you don’t have a valuation, when insurance will only cover a small percentage of your precious possessions.

Without training a valuation can be issued for gem material or jewellery items without much detail, and the information given to the valuer by the client or merchant can be taken as correct and in good faith, without formal verification. During the process items are taken from the client, cleaned using various chemicals, tested using various chemicals (sometimes toxic chemicals), which can be done on an ad hoc basis without much thought about procedure or safety. The National Council of Jewellery Valuers now require the diploma course for membership which provides the skills necessary to ensure safety, security and reliability of the items and documents issued.

National Council of Jewellery Valuers are highly skilled and trained. Registered valuers are required to continually improve and update their skills according to industry and technological changes. NCJV valuation certificates are recognised and required by several insurance companies in Australian.

Helen and Kaye Haddy have 45 years of experience in the jewellery trade, undergone studies in the fields of gemmology, diamond grading, gemstone treatments and valuing. They both have a Diploma of Applied Gemmology (Valuation) and provide teaching to new valuers.

1. Retail replacement in appropriate market (usually for insurance purposes).

2. Estate Division or Probate.

3. Auction reserve.

4. Divorce settlement or legal purposes.

5. Private sale.

6. Quality Assessment.

7. Market Value for Superannuation purposes.

Yes.

By arrangement with your jeweller and valuer it is possible for this to occur. There are many good reasons for this. Advances in reproduction technology have resulted in increasing numbers of synthetic stones reaching the marketplace. For example, synthetic rubies could be worth 95 per cent less than natural rubies but they look identical to the untrained eye. Haddys’ valuers are kept up-to-date with new developments in the industry and are trained to identify imitations. If you are unsure about an item's authenticity or value, have it checked.

It is important to have your jewellery reassessed every two or three years to ensure the valuation is current. Prices can fluctuate and insurance companies may request up-to-date information. The re-valuation also notes any wear and tear and ensures you are not paying excessive premiums if prices decrease.
