How Our In-Person Value Assessments Work?
Our in-person market value assessment includes inspection of stone quality, metal content, and current market pricing, but does not produce an official appraisal document
- Gemstone carat weight, colour, clarity, and cut
- Metal type and weight (gold, platinum, etc.)
- Brand or designer information (if applicable)
- Market-based valuation with resale or replacement cost
Unlike generic or verbal evaluations, certified appraisals are written by trained professionals and are often required for:
- Insurance coverage
- Resale or consignment
- Legal estate or divorce settlements
- Asset documentation for tax or personal records

Cape Town Jewellery Appraisals You Can Trust
We understand that jewellery often holds emotional as well as monetary value. At Anthony Alan, clients across Cape Town choose us for our:
- Permanent presence — always open, never seasonal

Why Certification Matters
Selling or insuring your jewellery without a certified appraisal can cost you significantly. Online calculators and quick estimators fail to consider:
- Actual condition and wear
- Provenance or brand reputation
- Cut quality and stone rarity
- Current resale demand in South Africa
At Anthony Alan, our appraisers use methodical, repeatable evaluation criteria, ensuring your report stands up to scrutiny with insurers, buyers, and legal professionals alike.
