Legal and Ethical Issues...

When 'Valuing' your own Jewelry it is easy to forget any problems which may occur, but you should be aware (especially if you are using our 'Online Self Assessment' Jewelry Valuation Appraisal Kit), that you still have some 'Moral' obligations, if only to yourself...

Your Obligations or 'Duty of Disclosure'....

If you 'Knowingly' fill in misleading or false information into the 'Kit' and then try to pass on that Valuation Certificate as a True Identification, then you are not only guilty of Fraud, but morally you are also guilty of misleading any other parties associated in the financial transactions arising from the sale of your item or a claim for insurance in the event of loss.

You would be defrauding the Insurance company, for example. A serious offense.

If you made such a claim for replacement, if lost or stolen, and sub-sequentially it is proven you made an incorrect statement in the Valuation Certificate, then you are guilty of Fraud.

The moral of the story is to be 'Careful' as ultimately, you will only be fooling yourself.

Proof of Authenticity....

Jewelry Appraisal Valuation DocumentIf you use the Valuation Certificate as proof of authenticity of an item during resale to a Third party, and that certificate is later found to be 'Inaccurate' YOU will be held accountable...

As the person responsible, you must present accurate figures, weights, measurements and facts as applicable, to the best of your knowledge and ability. This is a Legal and Ethical issue.

After all; no-one else can see, feel, measure or touch the item in question.

Similar to filling in your TAX form or providing information to your accountant.

We will do the calculations but BASED ON YOUR INPUT.

If you are unsure as to the identity of a gemstone, for example, get a second opinion. If there is ANY doubt to the article, get a Professional Appraisal done by an independent party.

Jewelry hallmarks

Professional jewelry appraisals completed by gemologists and valuers often have to take into account the effect the jewelry hallmarks have on the value of each item being appraised.

I get similar questions on forums and ‘expert’ websites, together with my own members discussion group. They are usually in the following format, and in general the same questions get asked over and over again. They go… Continue reading Jewelry Hallmarks And What They Mean...

Most people when they imagine a pearl are picturing perfect large round spherical gems, creamy white in colour with a shimmery iridescent surface. The reality is that pearls are usually irregular in shape, each one is different and to find one that is completely round is almost unheard of, not to mention trying to make a whole necklace of pearls that are all more or less the same. Natural pearls are the rarest and most highly valued variety, but nowadays most pearl jewellery is made from cultured or farmed pearls, which are grown on pearl farms… Continue reading What are the Main Differences Between Freshwater and Saltwater Pearls?...

Name jewelry is one of the trendiest types of fashion accessory for both men and women. A large part of this modern upswing in popularity is due to the hip hop culture where large name jewelry items have become the defining fashion in bling. While much of the current fashion is large, bling-style pieces, name jewelry can range from delicate and subtle to big and bold. But name jewelry is also very popular as traditional mothers jewelry. Name rings and name necklaces are by far the most popular items with online stores and retailers… Continue reading Name Jewelry Trends...
