GemVal Gemstones & Jewellery Valuations Fees

What are the fees?

Please feel welcome to bring along any items you are not sure of.

We do not charge to make an inspection and discuss with you the merits of having a valuation done.

Our fee structure is not based upon a percentage of the value of your goods: we feel that this is an unethical way of charging.

We have set fees for items, depending upon their complexity, starting at $60.

PLEASE SEE BELOW
