What makes a Jewellery Valuer Independent?
The characteristics that define a truly independent Valuer, beyond a high level of professionalism, are:
- Valuation fees are not based on the value of your possessions.
- Our members only appraise and value your jewellery, gemstones, diamonds and watches, they do not buy, sell or broker these items.
- Members do not accept referral commissions from retailers, insurance companies or any other agencies.
- They are not owned by a Jeweller, Insurance Company or any other industry related agency.
Why choose an Independent Valuer?

Retail Jewellers: Our members' independence ensures a first-class jewellery valuation service for your customers and peace of mind for you - none of our members buy, sell or broker jewellery.
Insurance Industry and Government Agencies: Impartial, meticulously researched documentation ensures the soundest of foundations.
