Why Servicing and Valuing Your Jewellery Is Essential

Fine jewellery is more than an accessory, it is an investment, a legacy, and often a deeply personal possession. Whether you own diamond rings, gold bracelets, heirloom pieces, or gemstone jewellery, regular jewellery servicing and professional valuations are essential to protecting both their sentimental and financial value.

At Art Diamond Boutique, we regularly advise clients on the importance of maintaining their jewellery properly. Here is why servicing and valuation should never be overlooked.

1. Jewellery Insurance Protection

For insurance purposes, jewellery should be professionally serviced and revalued every two years. Over time, claws can loosen, settings may wear down, and stones can become vulnerable without visible signs of damage.

An updated jewellery valuation certificate ensures that your diamond rings, gold pieces, and gemstone jewellery are adequately covered in the event of loss, theft, or damage. Without a current valuation, many pieces remain significantly underinsured.

2. Rising Gold and Silver Prices

Over the past decade, there has been a notable increase in gold and silver prices globally. As precious metal values continue to rise, jewellery purchased years ago may now be worth considerably more than its original valuation.

Without updating your valuation to reflect current market conditions, you risk insuring your jewellery below its true replacement value. A professional revaluation ensures your coverage aligns with today’s gold and precious metal prices.

3. Inheritance and Estate Planning

When jewellery is passed down through generations, clarity is essential. A recent professional jewellery valuation provides transparency and fairness when dividing assets among family members.

Accurate documentation also preserves the history and value of important pieces, ensuring they remain both sentimental keepsakes and recognised assets.

4. Resale or Consignment Value

If you are considering selling or consigning jewellery, condition and documentation significantly influence value. A recently serviced and professionally valued piece carries greater credibility and buyer confidence.

Whether preparing jewellery for resale, auction, or private sale, proper servicing and valuation maximise both presentation and market appeal.

5. Preservation and Long-Term Care

Regular jewellery servicing helps detect early signs of wear before they develop into costly repairs. Cleaning, polishing, rhodium plating, tightening settings, and inspecting stone security all contribute to extending the life of your jewellery.

Preventative care protects your diamonds and gemstones while maintaining their brilliance and structural integrity.
