Types of Valuations

Valuation For Insurance

This valuation type is for the purpose of insurance, and is based on JVL’s opinion of what it may cost to either manufacture (where appropriate), or replace (in the condition as sighted), with a similar item in similar condition.

An insurance valuation provides an average replacement cost. a detailed and accurate description of the item, and high-resolution photographs – making it possible to identify, replace, and/or recreate an exact duplicate, in the event that replacement is required.

If clients have items they wish to specify individually on their insurance schedule, JVL certificates include a detailed examination and description of the jewellery, a clear photograph and a current replacement cost.

If the item is ever lost, damaged or stolen, all the information is in the certificate to ensure a jeweller can replace or repair the item. The amount does not represent JVL’s view as to the value for sale or for any other purpose.

It is important to realise that not all insurance valuations are created equal. An effective insurance valuation is a document that contains a good color photo, a detailed enough description to allow a current value to be calculated without re-examination of the items, and a value or values for each item that represents the amount the item should be covered for under the terms of the Policy. Photos alone are not enough to accurately establish the value of the jewellery in the case of burglary or loss.

This document is written in such a way, that any party reading it knows every aspect of the item and can re-create the item in the event of loss, theft or damage. All appraisals contain photographs of the described item

Valuation Of Estate

To ensure that items of value are split equitably amongst heirs, or if someone is administering an estate, an Estate Valuation will need to take place.

This allows all relevant parties to settle an estate, with the primary function to represent the clients best interest, regardless of whether an executor, guardian, or law firm is settling the matter. The process for an estate valuation follows the same guidelines as the insurance valuation process.

This valuation type is for the purpose of the market and is based upon the subjective opinion of what the item may reasonably be expected to attain at public auction. The amount does not represent JVL’s view regarding the insurance or replacement value and is not valid for any other purpose.

Valuation For Matrimonial

A matromonial valuation is used in the event of divorce and provides a fair current market value of an item of jewellery for the division of marital assets.

Valuation For Market Value

A Market valuation reports the most common price for similar quality, age and condition items in the market, they are most commonly sold and determines whether the price of an item is fair.

Valuation For Private Sale

The Market Valuation for a private sale is based on circumstances where one wishes to sell an article privately to an individual and wants to obtain a realistic price for that article. Given there is a willing buyer/willing seller, a reasonable figure is presented to both parties concerned.

This valuation type is for the purpose of the secondary market and is based upon the subjective opinion of what the item may reasonably be expected to attain at public auction. The amount does not represent JVL’s view regarding the insurance or replacement value and is not valid for any other purpose.

Valuation For Probate

Valuation For Liquidation

Valuation For Collateral

Valuation For Auction
