Credibility is everything.
When buying a valuable piece of jewellery or antique watch, it’s worth asking if it has a certificate or valuation from an NCJV member.
Check the certificate carefully because, like a precious stone, clever imitations have been known.
A valuation by an NCJV Registered Valuer™ carries considerable weight in the jewellery and insurance sectors and over the years certain people have tried to emulate the seal and embossing used by our organisation to verify our appraisals.
This sometimes leads to confusion.
What to look for...
Certificates provided by a qualified NCJV member are embossed with a marking which may appear directly on the document or on a seal of various colours.
Different businesses use different colours to suit their corporate image but the actual seal is always the same.
When checking the seal make sure it contains the National Council of Jewellery Valuers imprint showing that the valuer is a member in the current year.
You can confirm the status of a member by checking the Find a Valuer section of our website.
If for some reason the member is not listed – they may have retired, for example – then please email the NCJV on [email protected] for clarification.

How often should valuations be updated?

It is important to have your jewellery reassessed every two or three years to ensure the valuation is current. Prices can fluctuate and insurance companies may request up-to-date information. The revaluation also notes any wear and tear and ensures you are not paying excessive premiums if prices decrease.

Make sure you are adequately covered with a professional valuation from one of our Registered Valuers™ http://www.ncjv.com.au/Find_a_Valuer

Why is there a cost for performing a valuation?

A professional valuation is not a case of simply looking at an item and guessing a price. It is a complex process that uses specialised equipment and requires a high level of expertise to determine the quality and value of all the parts of the jewellery item. Our Registered Valuers™are trained to identify the tiniest details that can affect a valuation and the NCJV's Fine Arts members and Specialist Valuers have many years of experience in specialised areas.
