What do you need
a valuation for?
Tell us what it is for and we'll help you choose.
Insurance replacement
The cost to replace your piece with a comparable new one at today's retail prices.
Check your insurer's requirements before arranging your valuation.
Market value
What your piece could reasonably sell for on the second-hand market. Useful for estates and family asset settlements.
Resale prices are generally lower than retail replacement values.
Your appraisal certificate
A clear record of your piece.
Your Anny's-supplied written valuation is signed by Chris Ozkoch and includes:
- Photographs and a description of your jewellery
- Stone details and metal specifications
- The assessed value and basis of valuation
Where an actual GIA or IGI grading report is available for the individual stone, we can cross-reference its report number. We retain a digital copy so a lost certificate can be re-issued.
