Valuation Report
It consists of assigning a value to a precious item, parameterized based on real market conditions. Any appraisal that aims to be reliable must be based on a correct technical expertise. Market variables come into play in the evaluation, both related to materials and the type of craftsmanship. It is also necessary to fix the appraisal at a specific date and indicate the reference market segment. Essentially, appraisals fall into two types:
1. Commercial Appraisal: average retail selling value.
2. Asset Appraisal: value at the first level of commercialization (coincides with the value of materials plus the costs of recovering the materials themselves).
The appraisal can be conducted on both modern and vintage jewelry, taking into account their aesthetic characteristics.
When can a piece of jewelry be considered antique?
There isn’t a precise date, but generally, a jewelry item is considered antique if it is over a hundred years old. Naturally, to determine the antiquity of a piece of jewelry, some evidence is required to establish the date of its creation.
The first step is, therefore, to identify the era of a piece of jewelry. If you are not knowledgeable about the history of jewelry, you can search through the internet (perhaps consult gioiellis.com) for reference points or jewelry pieces that resemble the one you own. The evaluation of your jewelry can be requested by scheduling an appointment at our location, where a team of expert goldsmiths will be able to provide the necessary assistance not only for a monetary appraisal but also to understand the details and historical context of the piece.
