When buying jewellery, it’s important to ask if the gemstones are natural or artificial. If they are natural, check if they have been treated and need special care requirements. Ideally, this information should be included on the receipt as they are not always easy to identify, even by experts, and can affect the value.
Everyone dreads losing a valuable piece of jewellery, especially if it’s a special gift or a family heirloom.
It’s a personal nightmare that can get even worse if you aren't adequately insured and have no proof of ownership.
When buying a valuable piece of jewellery or antique watch, it’s worth asking if it has a certificate or valuation from an NCJV member.
