Analysis
Jewellery is a funny thing. It can be very hard to determine the value of a piece if you are not a certified jeweller. Sometimes people store and protect an heirloom diamond ring, only to discover that it is made of brass and glass. Other times people will stash an old piece of jewellery in the junk drawer, later to discover it is actually diamond encrusted. If you have a piece of jewellery with an undetermined worth or a box full of estate jewellery you purchased for a song, Refined Custom Jewellers analysis can help you assess its market value and design a plan to make the most of your treasures.
Your Jewellery’s True Value
Jewellery analysis is one of my favourite aspects of my career as a certified custom jeweller. I am a sentimental person and a closet sleuth and I love to uncover hidden treasures. Many people find themselves with a piece (or sometimes a whole case) of jewellery and they have no idea if it is real or has any value. It is an honour for me to help my clients solve this mystery.
I have had clients who have brought in a sock drawer of jewellery that they assumed had no value, only to find out that almost all of it was genuine. I have also had to let clients know that the piece they have treasured for a long time is not what they thought it was. Almost all of my clients have big feelings attached to the jewellery they want analyzed and I am careful to tread lightly as we take this journey of discovery together.
I want to make sure to acknowledge that the sentimental value of a piece of jewellery is just as important, if not more so, than its monetary value. A brass and glass ring that was your mom’s prized possession and that is associated with important memories is worth more than gold and diamonds. Sometimes a little cleaning and repair is all that is needed to breathe new life and new memories into these pieces of jewellery.
For jewellery that is determined to have value on the market (gold, platinum, diamonds, gemstones), I can help you find the best option to sell, reimagine, or keep so that the true value of any jewellery is completely up to you.
