WELCOME TO JEWELLERY VALUATIONS

“Hi my name is Carol Clarke and I would like to welcome you to my blog in which I write about jewellery matters and try to reply to any questions I am asked on a daily basis”

Many insurance companies will only accept jewellery valued for insurance from Registered Valuers that have proven themselves through numerous practical and theory examinations along with experience in jewellery valuation services.

Be sure that you use a Registered Valuer from the Institute of Registered Jewellery in London to complete your jewellery valuation services or get your jewellery valued for insurance. If you do not use an expert jewellery valuer from this Institute, you could have problems in the future if you ever need to make a claim.
