When a loved one passes away, sorting through their possessions — including jewellery — can be one of the most emotionally difficult tasks. As experienced jewellers with decades of probate work, we're here to help.
Do You Need a Valuation for Probate?
In the UK, the estate of a deceased person may need to be valued for probate purposes before assets can be distributed. Jewellery is considered part of the estate and should be professionally valued. We can provide written valuations for probate purposes upon request.
Understanding What You Have
- Solid gold pieces (rings, chains, brooches)
- Gold-plated items (which have minimal scrap value)
- Silver jewellery
- Vintage or antique pieces (which may have collector value above scrap)
- Costume jewellery (no precious metal content)
We assess each piece individually and give you a clear, honest breakdown of what everything is and what it's worth.
