The range of items we evaluate is quite extensive; from unset gemstones, pearls and opals and through the range of rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, brooches to antique Chalices. If you are unsure whether the type of item you have can be valued, just contact me and I can happily assess it for you.
GemVal was founded by Chris Evans in 2009. She has always had a love of jewellery and an interest in gemstones. For many years her family took holidays and long weekends at the gem-fields in Central Queensland, way out in the bush at a place called Tomahawk Creek. The Central Queensland fields are where most of Australian Sapphires originate.

Services
Upon your arrival we will discuss with you the items you have brought for valuation, the type of valuation you require and have a quick inspection of the items. Any damage or missing stones will be discussed and a note of details to appear on your valuation will be taken. Then into our Speedbrite Ionic Jewellery Cleaner go your precious items, so when they are returned to your safe keeping, they sparkle like new again.
All gemstones are tested to verifiy their authenticity. A total of 3 different conclusive test results are required to confirm the identification of a gemstone. 7. The gemstones are then given an over-all grading from 1. (Commercial) to 10 (Extra Fine). The pricing is then finalised using an international pricing system (Gem Guide), approved by International Insurance Companies.
We do not charge to make an inspection and discuss with you the merits of having a valuation done. Our fee structure is not based upon a percentage of the value of your goods: we feel that this is an unethical way of charging. Other Items (coins, antique pieces etc.) priced after inspection, prior to commencing the valuation.
Valuations by a Registered Valuer are required as proof of ownership. For Insurance Reasons. Valuations are required by the majority of insurance companies to provide adequate cover for your most prized treasures.
Valuations help you obtain the best price on a fair and open market and give potential buyers confidence to buy, making the item more attractive to potential buyers, in this day and age with so many synthetics on the market posing as genuine natural gemstones, knowing the gemstones have been tested and are natural and not synthetic, (when the value is much less) with a certificate from an independent valuer.
