Insurance Valuations

Professional Insurance Valuations for Jewellery & Watches

At Clarindon Jewellers, we provide formal insurance valuations for fine jewellery and luxury watches, prepared with accuracy, clarity, and professional expertise. These valuations are designed to meet insurance requirements, ensuring your items are correctly covered in the event of loss, theft, or damage.

An accurate insurance valuation is essential — under-insurance can leave you exposed, while outdated valuations may not reflect current replacement costs.

Why Insurance Valuations Matter

Luxury watches and fine jewellery can fluctuate in value due to changes in market demand, material costs, and availability. An up-to-date insurance valuation ensures:

  • Adequate cover for replacement at today’s market prices

  • Clear documentation accepted by insurers

  • Peace of mind knowing your items are properly protected

We recommend reviewing insurance valuations every 2–3 years, or sooner if market conditions change significantly.

What Our Insurance Valuations Include

Each insurance valuation is professionally prepared and includes:

  • A detailed item description

  • Assessment of materials, gemstones, and craftsmanship

  • Brand, model, reference, and serial numbers (where applicable)

  • Current replacement value for insurance purposes

  • High-quality photographic documentation

Valuations are provided in a clear, formal format suitable for submission to insurers.

  • Luxury watches (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and more)

  • Diamond jewellery and engagement rings

  • Fine and branded jewellery

  • Antique, vintage, and heirloom pieces

Each item is handled with care, discretion, and professional attention throughout the process.

An insurance valuation reflects the cost to replace an item at retail level, whereas a selling or trade valuation reflects the current market value if sold. Insurance values are typically higher.
