Steps-01

ANALYSIS AND RESEARCH

We give your jewellery a thorough clean, take professional photographs and begin analyzing each piece. This includes analyzing the purity of the metal, identification and grading of diamonds, coloured gemstones, and any additional research that may be required. All analyzing and testing is completed using best industry practices.

Steps-03

VALUE AND COLLATE

Once our analysis has been completed, a fair and accurate value for the intended purpose is added. All information and photographs is documented in a professional and detailed report.
