FAQ

What qualifications do your appraisers have?

Our appraisers at Sammantha Maclachlan FGA Ltd are highly qualified and hold certifications from recognized organizations such as the Gemological Institute of America and the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers. They have extensive knowledge and experience in gemology, jewelry design, and valuation techniques.

How do you determine the value of my jewelry?

We use a combination of factors to determine the value of your jewelry, including the quality and type of gemstones and metals, the condition of the piece, and the current market demand. Our appraisers carefully examine each piece and compare it to similar items in the market to provide an accurate valuation.

Can you provide a detailed written appraisal report?

Yes, we provide detailed written appraisal reports for all jewelry items that we appraise. Our reports include a complete description of the piece, including the gemstones and metals used, as well as a valuation based on our expert assessment of its value.

What kind of insurance do you offer for my appraised jewelry?

We do not offer insurance for appraised jewelry, but we can provide guidance on how to insure your jewelry and recommend reputable insurance providers. It is important to regularly update your insurance coverage to ensure that your jewelry is fully protected.

How often should I get my jewelry appraised?

We recommend getting your jewelry appraised every 3-5 years to ensure that your insurance coverage is up to date and that the value of your jewelry has not significantly changed. However, certain circumstances such as a change in market demand or significant changes to the piece may require an earlier appraisal.

    Excellent service and value for money resulting in a detailed valuation report. No need for assets to be sent away in the post. Consultation took under an hour with additional valuation research carried out by FGA Ltd. I would highly recommend Samantha.

    I phoned several jewellers to have my ring valued at the request of my insurance company but all of them required sending it away (this ranged from 10 days to 4 weeks). I was reluctant to do this so decided to search for someone who would do this on site. I found Sammantha Maclachlan online and after reading all of the positive reviews I made an appointment for a week later. I visited Sammantha at her office and she was able to value my ring at her office without sending it away. Samantha was knowledgeable, professional and gave a detailed evaluation of my ring. She also gave my ring a clean. I received a detailed report and valuation the next day via email. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sammantha for on-site jewellery valuations.

    Sammantha was super helpful with my jewellery valuation. She was quick to respond to queries before I committed to an appointment, and also didn't need to wait long to get booked in with her. During the valuation she talked us through everything she was doing, and even let me have a look at a couple of bits too. The report I have received is very substantial and exactly what I was looking for, for my insurers. Would definitely recommend.

    Super service from Sammantha! I've used Sammantha for business to business services when I need a valuation done for a bespoke client piece. Sammantha is knowledgeable, professional and clear. It is so obvious she loves her job! I've also used Sammantha for gemmology services and for a few short courses for myself. I can't recommend her enough!

    Sammantha was able to squeeze me in last minute for a valuation of my engagement ring before I went on holiday and provide me with the certificate to have it insured less than 24 hours later! The service from start to end was amazing, she is super friendly, caring and of course very knowledgable in her field. Would highly recommend Sammantha to anyone looking to have their jewellery valued.

    Sammantha was excellent to deal with, her appraisal of my jewellery was absolutely on the money. She also gave excellent guidance on where to maximise the return on the items I took in. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sammantha, her fees are very reasonable and it was money well spent.

    Sammantha is very professional and very knowledgeable about her line of work. She's a lovely person and provides a very personal service, getting to ask a lot of questions and understand diamond grading was worth her very fair fee.

    Highly recommended. I had to have my jewellery valued for house insurance and I was over the moon with the values given on my rings, very pleasantly surprised. Sammantha was very knowledgeable, quick and thorough. The documents given were of an extremely high standard too with beautiful photographs and loads and loads of detail. Will definitely use again in future as the whole process was really convenient. Thanks.
