What our clients are saying already:
Mr D. Nelson – I just would like to say that your colleague Annabell did a brilliant job and we did thank her for her professionalism and dedication to get to the bottom of a few issues. Really great customer service she was brilliant please pass on our thanks.
Mr D. Boyle – I wasn’t aware of the detail that Annabell went into, my wife was so impressed. We did look up Annabell’s qualifications and experience etc and she certainly knows her subject. We didn’t realise how under valued/under-insured the jewellery was until we received your report. So thank you Rachel for looking after us.
Jewellery valuations
We recommend a review of a jewellery insurance valuation at least every 3 years, due to price fluctuations in gold and diamonds. Also, some insurance policies have a clause requirement that clasps and settings require checking every 2-3 years. As part of our service we include a clasps and a settings check. For collector watches we would suggest a desktop review annually to ensure prices are up to date.
