Professional appraisal of jewelry, silverware and watches

Are you looking for a reliable appraiser for jewelry, silverware, or a valuation report for your watch? You're very welcome at Kelly Donck Jewelry in Son en Breugel. As an experienced goldsmith and certified appraiser, affiliated with the Federation of Gold & Silver, I offer expert appraisals of jewelry items (particularly those made after 1952).

Why have your jewelry appraised?

A valuation report is valuable in several situations:

• Loss or theft: I prepare an official report with the replacement value, so your insurance can properly cover you.
• Gift or sale: You receive an independent, professional valuation – useful for transfers or sales.
• Inheritance or division of assets: I determine the current market value of your jewelry, which can help ensure a fair and well-substantiated division.
• Divorce: I use the realizable value to ensure your valuables are divided fairly.
• Arbitration and disputes: As an independent appraiser, I provide objective valuations that are useful in legal or mediation contexts.

Depending on your objectives, we agree in advance on the report's structure, ensuring it best suits your situation.

Costs & lead time

A complete appraisal report usually takes me two to three weeks. The price depends on the number of items and their complexity. I always provide a clear, written quote upfront.

I recommend reviewing the report approximately every three to five years, depending on your insurer's requirements. If I have prepared the report earlier, the review rates are lower.

Insurance for your jewelry

Many home contents insurance policies only cover jewelry up to approximately €2,500. For higher values, it's advisable to take out separate valuables insurance. Inquire with your insurer about the options and ensure your appraisal report is up-to-date. I prepare reports that are legally and insurance-compliant.
