Professional Jewellery Valuation Service in Ireland: Why Every Precious Item Deserves Expert Appraisal

When it comes to protecting your treasured jewellery, whether family heirlooms, engagement rings, or high-value gemstones knowing its accurate market value isn’t just nice to have… it’s essential. That’s where our Jewellery Valuation Service comes in, combining decades of expertise with personalised, reliable valuation reports you can trust.

What is a Jewellery Valuation and Why it Matters

A jewellery valuation isn't simply a price tag.  It's a detailed professional assessment of your items value based on current precious metal prices, genstone quality, craftsmanship and market conditions.  These valuations are vital for:

• Insurance replacement — ensuring you receive full compensation in the event of loss, theft, or damage.  
• Accurate documentation — complete with descriptions, weights, measurements, and photographs.  
• Estate planning or probate — offering a trustworthy figure for legal and financial purposes.
• Peace of mind — knowing the true worth of what you own.

Professional jewellery valuations help eliminate uncertainty and ensure you’re covered properly when it matters most. 

Expert Appraisal by Qualified Professionals

Unlike generic jewellery shop assessments, Lorimat’s Jewellery Valuation Service is led by Rita Shanahan with over 25 years in the jewellery trade, including experience as a jewellery loss adjuster. This depth of knowledge makes every valuation:

✔ Thorough

✔ Accurate

✔ Trustworthy

✔ Tailored to your unique piece

That level of expertise is crucial because not every gem, precious metal item or prestigious watch holds the same value, and professional insight can uncover details others might miss.

What's Included in your Valuation Report?

Each valuation carried out by Lorimat includes:

🔹 A comprehensive written document detailing your jewellery item

🔹 High-quality photographs

🔹 Descriptions of materials, stone measurements, and metal weight

🔹 Up-to-date valuation figures based on current market conditions

🔹 A report suitable for insurance policies and other official needs 

This professional documentation makes filing an insurance claim straightforward and supported by evidence that insurers recognise and respect.

Convenient Valuations Where You Are

Lorimat Valuations recognises that precious items deserve a careful and stress-free evaluation. That’s why valuations can be carried out by appointment, including in-home consultations, allowing customers to feel secure and comfortable during the process. 

Whether it’s a single cherished piece or an entire collection, the service is designed to be flexible and tailored to your needs.

Who Should Consider a Jewellery Valuation?

You’ll benefit from a professional valuation if you:

• Have valuable jewellery you want protected
• Are updating insurance coverage
• Are planning an estate settlement
• Want to understand the current worth of an inherited piece

Even if you’ve never thought about a jewellery valuation before, it’s recommended to have your high-value items assessed every few years, as gemstone markets and precious metal prices fluctuate over time. 

Final Word: Protect Your Precious Pieces with Confidence

In a world where jewellery is more than an adornment, it’s an investment, a memory, a legacy, a professional valuation isn’t just smart… it’s essential.

With Lorimat’s Jewellery Valuation Service, you get the peace of mind that comes from working with specialists who understand the value of what you cherish. Accurate, respected, and tailored to your needs and ready to provide the documentation you need when it matters most.
