Valuation Services
At Ogden of Harrogate, we understand the intrinsic value of your jewellery, not solely in terms of its monetary worth but also its personal significance to you.
Our bespoke Valuations service aims to identify the right valuation for you, whether for probate, insurance, division, post loss or other purposes.
The Valuation Process
- Prior to beginning a valuation, a visual appraisal of your items will be made, and advice given on the most suitable type of valuation.
- All items are also cleaned and checked within our workshops prior to being valued.
- Your items for valuation are fully insured with us and will never leave our premises unless pre-arranged.
- All valuations are completed in house and never by a third party.
- Pieces will be assessed and a printed valuation certificate with photographs will be issued in print form and also by email (if requested). This may be shared with your insurer or solicitor as required.
- In certain cases such as Post Loss valuations, Ogden of Harrogate can deal directly with insurers.
Our Valuation Fees
- Single Item: £95
- Any subsequent items: £70 each
- *Please note any exceptional items requiring further research may incur a pre-arranged additional charge.
Other Services Offered
The Valuations Department can also provide diagnostic testing and certification of stones, condition reports, and for an additional charge can fast track valuations within a 24 or 48 hour timeframe.
