Jewellery valuations – a hot topic and debate

How much is something worth? That’s a good question and an even better one when it comes to jewellery. It’s often hotly debated in the jewellery industry where many myths still exist.

The topic of jewellery valuations becomes even more difficult when you include insurance.
