About this Valuer
GHM Jewellery Valuations is headed by Gaynor Haylett-Mustafa who has over 25 years experience in jewellery trade, having worked with some of the UK's most prestigious jewellers. GHM specialises in home-visit jewellery appraisals within the home counties of Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, and South Lincolnshire. Gaynor also works with retail jewellers in these ares to provide a swift valuation service to clients who prefer to work directly with their family jeweller.
Gaynor, who studied diamond grading at the International Gemological Institute in Antwerp and the Gem-A in London, invites enquiries from clients within 1.5 hours of St Neots. After establishing the scope of the appraisal assignment, you will be given an estimate of the valuation fee, the cost of your appraisal is calculated on a straight forward price per item basis. For your peace of mind, all grading of the diamonds and gemstones and the assessment of your jewellery will be carried out in your home or office. To minimise the disruption to your routine, all the research and report-writing is carried out off-site. The Valuer usually completes your documentation within a week, subject to the complexity and quantity of items examined.
GHM provides jewellery valuations for the purposes of Insurance Replacement, Probate, Division of Assets, Sale by Private Treaty, Open Market and Family Division. Jewellery of all types (antique, period and modern) are handled by this jewellery expert. Two bound reports are provided, one for your own records which includes quality photographs of your precious items, the other copy can be forwarded to your insurance company or solicitor.
Gaynor is very approachable and would be delighted to answer any questions about her service to you. Please contact her using the email and telephone links at the top of this page.

Great Expertise
Gaynor clearly has expertise in jewelry valuation and knows about the origins of jewelry. She also has a practical, friendly and helpful attitude. She came to the house to look a collection of items. She gave a quick assessment and information on everything and then carried out insurance valuations where appropriate. The detailed descriptive report with photographs arrived promptly. I would happily use Gaynor again and/or recommend her valuation services to family or friends.

Outstanding Job!
I found Gaynor to be very professional from the outset. It was easy to arrange a time around my busy schedule and she made a home visit. It was clear that she is very knowledgeable in her field and was able to advise on what is valuable and should be insured vs what is not. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone with unusual or bespoke jewellery.

Very Helpful
Engagement ring valued for insurance. I can only echo all the things previous reviewers have said. We had trouble finding a local valuer who was not on holiday so, nearing our insurance deadline, were relieved when we finally came across Gaynor. She came to see us at her first opportunity, did the valuation as well as looking at a number of other inherited items of little value and advising us where we would get a fair offer for them, and then very kindly got the paperwork back to us the next day, just in time for the deadline. Highly recommended!

Prompt and Efficient
I’m very pleased that I found this lady through this website. She came to our house and quickly sorted through 3 generations of jewellery for probate valuation, but also told us something of the age and design of the pieces. She quickly separated them into things worth identifying and valuing, which she grouped to further reduce the time and cost, and the rest! She then produced a very detailed report with photos to help me connect the description with the item. Very good value!

Excellent Information
Gaynor really showed a great knowledge of all the jewellery we had valued and gave us lots of additional interesting information on certain rings and watches. Gaynor really knew her stuff.

Insurance Valuation
12 items valued for insurance purposes and also my own interest... I thoroughly enjoyed the process. Gaynor explained some of the technical aspects of the valuations and demonstrated these with my pieces. This provided a valuable insight to the history, provenance and the many varying facets that can impact the valuation of a piece. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about my jewellery and the report produced was both detailed and an interesting read. I will use Gaynor again and would recommend her to anyone who requires a professional but personal valuation service.

Jewellery Valuation
We found Gaynor to be very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She was able to visit our home and provide a full valuation the following day. We would both recommend her to anyone wanting an open and honest valuation of jewellery.

Insurance valuation - This was the first time that I have needed to have this done and I found Gaynor to be friendly, open, honest and very efficient for my needs. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends for any valuing services.
