*Jewellery values can change more than you think…*
At Doerr Dallas Valuations, our team of qualified gemmologists recommends that clients review their jewellery valuations every 2–3 years. Anyone with a valuation dated before 2024 may find that their jewellery values have changed significantly – and, in some cases, risen above their policy threshold, meaning individual pieces should now be itemised on their insurance policy.
We know that clients can sometimes be reluctant to arrange a valuation, but the hardest part is often the first one. Once we hold the relevant information, updating values can be relatively straightforward.
In the event of a claim, can you really afford not to have an up-to-date valuation?
A professional valuation provides reassurance over value, can enable a quicker and easier settlement, helps to prove ownership and, importantly, many HNW insurance policies include a ‘guaranteed uplift’ where a valuation is less than three years old.
Yesterday, our Jewellery Specialist, Helen Doyle, visited one of our clients who initially said, “Nothing has changed.”
However, her Tiffany & Co. HardWear graduated link diamond necklace told a different story. In just eight months, this piece alone had increased in value by £4,500. Across Tiffany & Co. jewellery, prices have risen by approximately 8% - 20% over the past two years, depending on the metal, collection and whether diamonds are involved.
Another reminder of just how important it is to keep your jewellery valuations up to date.
