Why should I have my jewellery valued?
A professional jewellery valuation gives you a detailed record of your item and its value. This can be particularly important if you need to:
- Arrange or update insurance cover
- Record valuable items as part of family division, and inheritance or probate
- Understand the value of jewellery before selling or transferring it
- Keep an accurate record of your valuable possessions
- Simply find out more about your treasured piece
Our expert valuers provide independent valuations for jewellery, watches and silverware, with reports that include details such as descriptions, photographs, precious metal information and gemstone details.

Birmingham Assay Office has been operating since 1773 and has a long history of working with precious metals, jewellery and luxury goods. Our valuation team provides independent valuations for customers across Birmingham and the UK.
Don't forget your luxury handbags, shoes and other designer goods
Valuation isn’t limited to jewellery and watches. If you own valuable designer or luxury goods, Birmingham Assay Office also provides authentication services for selected luxury items.
This includes designer handbags, trainers and other luxury goods, helping customers establish whether an item is authentic and providing supporting documentation for resale, insurance or private transactions.
For anyone buying, selling or simply keeping a collection of luxury goods, professional authentication can provide valuable peace of mind.
Digital valuations and secure digital vaults
Valuations and authentications are becoming easier to manage digitally too.
At Birmingham Assay Office, we offer digital certification through our Valued & Vaulted service, allowing your documentation and item information to be securely stored in a digital vault. This means you can access your records anytime, anywhere rather than relying solely on a paper certificate.
Digital records can make it easier to keep track of valuable possessions, access documentation when needed and maintain a secure record of your items over time, protected by blockchain technology.
Keep your valuation up to date
The value of jewellery, watches and other luxury possessions can change over time. Precious metal prices, gemstone values, market conditions and replacement costs can all affect what an item is worth.
For this reason, it is good practice to review and renew your valuations every three years. This helps maintain up-to-date records and gives you a better chance of ensuring that your insurance cover reflects the current value of your possessions.
Insurance companies can have different requirements, so you should always check your individual policy to confirm how frequently valuations need to be renewed.
