Jewellery Valuation—How Much Does It Cost?

When it comes to jewellery valuations, pricing can vary — and it’s not always clear what you’re really paying for. Some valuers charge flat fees, others charge based on the jewellery’s value, and a few (like Wellington Jewellery Valuations) charge based on time. Understanding how valuation costs work can help you avoid paying too much — or worse, ending up with a rushed or unreliable assessment. Here’s what to know before you book your valuation.
