Insurance Valuation

When you want insurance cover against loss or damage of your most cherished  items of jewellery, your insurer will need a professional valuation. To make sure you receive the correct sum in the event of a claim, you need a qualified IRV valuer to examine your jewellery and to produce a formal document giving a precise description of each piece and confirming how their value has been determined. Due to fluctuating market conditions, it is important to keep your jewellery valuation updated every 3-5 years for peace of mind and protection of your items.

Probate Valuation

A Probate Valuation is a written report that describes the jewellery and its value to calculate inheritance tax. 

​

A probate valuation completed in compliance with HM Revenues & Customs and in accordance with Section 160 of the Inheritance Tax Act 1984 is required for legal authorities (HRMC, executors, solicitors) and represents the amount it would fetch on the open market or at auction. 

​

I am sensitive to the emotion and stress Probate Valuation can cause for the family, so I work with thought and discretion to make the experience as pleasant as possible.

Division of Assets Valuation, Family Division, by Almaz Jewellery Valuations

Division of Assets Valuation
FAMILY DIVISION

A division of assets valuation represents the hypothetical amount of money a jointly owned asset would fetch on the open market (auction). This enables individual parties to divide their assets fairly. 

​

The valuation is influenced by condition, rarity, provenance, recent comparative sales, etc. We continuously track and review these considerations on the market in order to provide an accurate valuation figures.
