Respected Jewellery Appraisers and Educators Peter Buckie and Barbara Leal jointly perform on-site services for discerning private, commercial and corporate entities.

Valuations & Reports

Jewellery, diamonds, watches and loose gemstone collections are appraised and valued for all purposes. This appraisal business produces an array of valuation reports applicable to a variety of scenarios that can be encountered. The most commonly encountered include:

• Insurance Replacement

Examination of your valuables takes place at a secure location of your choosing, local or overseas. For example, this could be your home, office, bank or Lawyer's office. Following Peter and Barbara's off-site research, you will be presented with a draft report. The final valuation documentation will be produced once your questions have been addressed.
