Gold Jewellery valuations
Weight, purity - and much more
There is more to valuing gold jewellery than assessing its purity and weight.
Our valuers understand the varied methods of manufacture and the wide range of brands, both of which can be major influences on price.
Your gold jewellery may be Italian designer 18 carat gold, New Zealand-made 9 carat gold, Indian 22 carat (916) gold or Chinese 24 carat (99.99) gold. Whatever it is, we will identify it accurately and prepare a customised valuation to your specific needs.
HOW WE VALUE YOUR GOLD JEWELLERY
Identification & Carat
- We start with clear photos so your items can be identified. Then the gold is accurately purity tested using the latest technology. All the specifications are documented and detailed in our report.
Manufacture & Brands
- We always strive to identify the manufacturer or brand of your gold jewellery, as this can have a major influence on the value. We also look for forensic traces left behind, telling us what techniques were used in manufacturing.
RESEARCH
-
The values on your report are provided after thorough research of the New Zealand jewellery markets, and are unique to the purpose of your valuation and the type of item valued.
