Why a proper valuation, not a shop estimate

A jeweller will happily tell you what your gold is worth. But a note from the shop down the road is not a valuation report, and it will not be accepted for a tax return or in court.

An approved valuer's report lists every item, states the weight and the purity, applies the rate for the relevant date, and is signed. That is a document you can rely on.

What we cover

• Gold ornaments and coins
• Silver items and utensils
• Studded jewellery, where stones are assessed separately from the metal
• Old family pieces, where craftsmanship may carry value beyond the metal

When people need it

• Schedule AL in the tax return. If your income crossed fifty lakh, jewellery has to be listed. See that page
• Family settlement. Dividing jewellery between children, which goes far better with a written list
• Court matters. Where the estate has to be valued
• Insurance. So a claim is not argued about afterwards
• Loans against gold. Where the lender wants an independent figure

How it is done

Each item is weighed, purity is assessed, and the piece is described and photographed. Where stones are set, the stone weight is deducted so you are not charged gold rates for a ruby.

The rate applied is the one for the date the valuation is made for, which is not always today. For an old estate matter, it may be a date years back.

Where it happens

Jewellery valuation is usually done at your home or bank locker, in front of you. Nothing leaves your possession. If the items are in a locker, arrange a time and we will meet you at the bank.
