How the Appraisal Process Works

Initial Examination

Each piece is carefully inspected to identify its materials, structure, condition, hallmarks, and visible characteristics.

Material Identification

We assess the type and purity of precious metals, including gold, silver, platinum, and other valuable alloys where applicable.

Gemstone Assessment

When gemstones are present, we consider visible quality factors such as size, cut, colour, clarity, setting, and general condition.

Condition Review

The condition of the piece is evaluated, including wear, repairs, damage, restoration needs, and overall preservation.

Market-Based Valuation

The final assessment considers current market conditions, comparable pieces, metal value, craftsmanship, rarity, and resale potential.
