- Matrimonial Asset Valuations
An independent valuation for divorce or separation — jewellery, watches, and fine art, without obligation to sell.
Family solicitors and individuals both turn to us for clear, independent valuations of jewellery, watches, silver, and art during a divorce or separation — with the option of a same-day sale once assets are agreed.

- How It Works
A confidential estate valuation in three steps
No pressure, no obligation to sell — just a clear, professional valuation to support the estate, on your timeline.
Visit or Photograph
Arrange a home visit for the full estate, or send photographs of specific items — our specialists assess jewellery, watches, silver, art, and more in a single appointment.
Valuation
Our specialists assess the piece and return a free, no-obligation offer, typically within hours.
Settlement
If you choose to sell, receive same-day payment by bank transfer, with funds available promptly for estate administration.
- Understanding the Process
What we consider in a matrimonial valuation
Alongside the usual factors of maker, period, and condition, valuations in this context carry particular considerations.
Independence
Valuations are conducted without interest in the outcome of a settlement, based solely on the item's market value.
Maker & Period
As with any valuation, maker, period, and craftsmanship remain the biggest factors in an item's value.
Condition
Each item is assessed individually, with condition affecting value in the same way as any private sale.
Confidentiality
Particularly important in this context — valuations are conducted entirely privately, with information shared only on your instruction.
Timing
We can work to a solicitor's timeline where a valuation is needed to support a specific disclosure deadline.
Clear Summary
A clear, professional valuation summary is provided, suitable to share with your solicitor.
