Our detailed valuations are carried out by experienced experts who understand both the emotional and financial value of fine jewellery.
Jewellery Valuations for Insurance Purposes
As many as 30% of insurance claims for jewellery and related items are affected by under-insurance because the claimant is unaware of the real value of the items until it is too late.
At Lanes we offer a professional valuation service in association with National Association of Jewellers Institute of Registered Valuers. We provide a drop-off service allowing you to leave the items with us for valuation. The turnaround time for this service is usually around
seven working days.

Each valuation includes a full written report with photographs, accurate descriptions, metal and gemstone details, and a current replacement value — accepted by all major insurers.
Our valuations provide: Expert description & valuation of each item / A beautiful portfolio / with colour digital images of each item valued / Proof of ownership / Assurance you are not under-insured / Reduced claims handling times should the worst happen.
We recommend updating valuations every 3 to 5 years to keep your cover in line with market values.
Insurance Claims
We are acknowledged experts in this minefield. Whatever your problems, our staff are well versed in dealing sympathetically with your claims and acting on your behalf with your insurers or brokers to negotiate the best possible settlement.
Lanes we often are required to source for example, a matching Victorian cut diamond for replacement in an antique ring where a modern cut substitute would be the easiest but in our opinion, a most unsuitable solution.
