Infographic Summary: What Is Art, Antique Or Jewellery Valuation?

You must have valuable assets with you like everybody. Those assets are not just financially valuable, but they do come with emotional and sentimental values as well. Therefore, you keep them carefully safe in your closet, locker and so on. Out of all the assets, artworks, antique pieces, watches, handbags and jewellery pieces come with aesthetic appeal as well. There are several factors which are taken into consideration while evaluating their values which keep on fluctuating as per the market value. Some of the common factors which are given importance for all of these assets are, their age, condition, materials used in manufacturing them, their originality and authenticity, the brand or designer they belong to and so on. This means, when taking your jewellery for the jewellery valuation process, these are some of the common factors which will determine the value of the jewellery.

When we evaluate antique pieces, all the factors mentioned above are important in determining their values, however, there is one more thing which is very important. In antique valuations, the history of the asset also plays a significant role in determining its value. If the antique piece belongs to a major historical event or to a great historical figure from the past, then there are high chances that its value will be higher than that of the current market value. For instance, if you have an antique watch which is branded as well, when you take it for the process of watch valuation, then at that time, apart from considering all the common factors mentioned above, the valuer dives deep into its history as well.

Evaluating your assets help you in so many ways, especially during the time when you need them the most. For instance, if there is a death in the family and you need the assets of the deceased to be distributed equally among the family members, then the probate valuation of the asset will help you in this situation. For the equal distribution of the jewellery of the deceased among the family members, the probate jewellery valuation process does the work. The same goes for all other valuable assets as well.
