Insurance Jewellery & Watch Valuations

Jewellery and fine watches should be professionally valued to ensure they are adequately insured against loss, theft or damage.

At Rufus Valuations, we provide specialist insurance valuations for private clients and jewellers, helping ensure that valuable items are covered for their full replacement value.

Whether you own an engagement ring, inherited family jewellery, luxury watches or a wider collection, values can change significantly over time. Precious metal prices, gemstone markets and brand demand all have an impact on replacement costs.

As a qualified gemmologist and registered valuer, I prepare clear, fully documented valuation reports suitable for insurance purposes. Each item is carefully examined and professionally described, with consideration given to gemstones, precious metal content, brand, model, craftsmanship and, of course, current replacement costs.

Insurance providers will often request an up-to-date professional valuation for higher-value items, particularly engagement rings, diamond jewellery and luxury watches from brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Vacheron and Cartier.

Regular updates are important, as out-of-date valuations may leave items underinsured. In many cases, we recommend reviewing values every two to three years, or sooner where market prices have moved significantly.

We provide a discreet and professional service across Kent, London and the South East, whether for a single item or an entire collection. Please contact us for more information.
