GEMSTONE VALUATION SERVICES

Gemstone valuation is a delicate process that requires expertise and precision. At Jewellery Valuation Laboratory, we offer gemstone valuation services to help you unlock the true worth of your precious stones.

EXPERTISE YOU CAN TRUST

Our expert valuers have modern technology and relevant market insight to provide detailed and dependable evaluations, whether you are an enthusiast, collector or planning a sale. We pride ourselves on attention to detail and accuracy, serving clients across Melbourne. With certifications from leading industry bodies, ensuring every valuation is a thorough assessment of your gemstone’s true value.

Tailored Gemstone Services

Every gemstone is unique – from sapphires and rubies to opals, tourmalines and emeralds. We assess colour quality, clarity, transparency, cut, carat weight etc. Unlike diamonds, coloured gems are valued primarily for hue, tone, saturation, clarity, rarity and market demand. Our valuations are based on gemmological properties and current market trends.

Laboratory Testing for Gemstone Valuation

Identification: We begin with a one-on-one consultation to understand your jewellery needs and the purpose of the valuation.

Quality Analysis: Each piece is assessed for craftsmanship, materials, gemstones and unique features.

Size Analysis: We review certificates, receipts and any historical documents to confirm authenticity and provenance.

Certification: Current metal and gemstone prices, rarity, demand and condition are considered to determine each item’s value.

Calculation: You receive a comprehensive report outlining each item and its value for insurance, resale or personal records. A complete folio of your collection is provided at a fair price.

Gemstone identification Report

A Gemstone Identification Report provides an expert analysis of a gemstone’s natural characteristics, including its type, colour, clarity, cut and carat weight.This report confirms the stone’s authenticity and outlines its key gemmological properties. It is issued for informational purposes and does not include a monetary value.

Preparing for Your Appointment

For the most accurate valuation, bring any previous appraisals or documentation. A light cleaning beforehand can also help with assessment.
