Whilst most valuation schedules are prepared for insurance replacement purposes, they can also be prepared for probate, divorce/family settlement and private sale. All our valuation schedules are presented in a quality bound folder and include digital images of your jewellery, full description and appropriate value.
Your jewellery will be inspected and, if necessary, cleaned before being digitally photographed and expertly appraised; all relevant details are recorded such as:
The assessed colour and clarity of diamonds, dimensions and weight
Certificate/report details of certificated diamonds
Gemstone type, quality, dimensions and weight
Hallmarks and any other identifying marks
Mode of manufacture and setting style
We will also advise you of any repairs needed to keep your jewellery in tip-top condition. A glossary of terms used in the schedule can be found at the back of your report to enable you to fully understand your document. We also supply you with an ‘Insurers Summary’ for you to submit to your insurance company.
A valuation supplied by a member of the Jewellery Valuers Association ensures that, if in the event of a loss or theft, you have all the information needed to help provide proof of ownership if the item is recovered, or to assist your claim if it isn’t. We also offer a Post-Loss Assessment Service to help with your claim in the event of a loss or theft.
Current Market conditions and rising metal costs mean that even relatively recent valuation schedules, carried out within the last two or three years, may now be inadequate. To give yourself peace of mind, and to ensure you are not under-insured, it is now the time to have your jewellery valued professionally.
Although most appointments are carried out during normal working hours we can also arrange out-of-hours and weekend appointments, contact us to discuss your requirements.

Left us a star review
Last year, I commissioned Tom French to make a pair of Ceylon Sapphire and Diamond drop earrings for my wife for our 45th wedding anniversary. I can honestly say that April, the manageress could not have been more helpful and my wife was absolutely delighted. I would not hesitate in recommending Tom and April as the place to go to for something special.
Fantastic experience. Interesting shop with lots of different exciting products and great services.
Tom and his team are always so friendly and knowledgeable. There are other jewellers but Tom French is by far the best jewellers in Ascot. In attitude, service and craftsmanship.
I cannot recommend Tom and his coworkers April and Linda more highly. Tom is always a pleasure to deal with, extremely helpful no matter how big or small the purchase or job. I had a number of items adjusted and an entirely new shank with diamond accents for a ring I already had ...which was nice but nothing special. It is now absolutely stunning! And has even been independently valued for far and above what I have paid for the ring originally , plus the upgrade from Tom. I also had another diamond set in a new mount from Tom and again I am just SO happy with it. Well done Tom, April and Linda.
Fast friendly service changing a watch battery for us. A very reasonable price to do it as well. We will be returning when we inevitably need another one. Recommended
As always courteous and helpfula2 service. As a gemmologist myself I would highly recommended this jewellers
I couldn't be more grateful to Tom. He was extremely calm, patient and knowledgable. No pressure, no sales, just his advice and experience. I wanted a bespoke engagment ring made and Tom helped to design and create a ring that both my fiance and myself are absolutely in love with! Thank you, Tom!
EXCELLENT. Linda is a marvel. I made an enquiry for a piece of jewellery that wasnt on the website and within an hour Linda had sourced what I required. Customer service at its best. It was a pleasure to deal with people who go that extra mile. If i could give 10 stars I would. Mr Parmenter, Buckinghamshire.
Very lovely and friendly people! Also very knowledgeable, would highly recommend and will definitely be returning!
A thoroughly professional team with above & beyond post sales customer service. A first point of call for any jewellery needs. I would definitely recommend Tom & the team
I can highly recommend Tom French Jewellery. Tom and Alice are such lovely people, experts in their craft, and their customer service is second to none. I would not go to any other Jewellers now I have found them and I don't think there is anything they cannot do!
