Just What I Wanted & Needed

I asked JVC to repair and appraise rings from my mother's estate before giving them to my daughter. Jacob at JVC was great to deal with - practical on-the-spot advice on what should be repaired and how, and then a repair job that came in as estimated in terms of both price and time. First class service!

Expertise / Items Examined: Engagement ring, wedding ring, 2 eternity rings & 2 joined eternity rings in a necklace.

I asked for a Valuation

I arranged an interview time for a valuation on my engagement ring for insurance purposes. The service was so efficient I could have had it back in one hour, but I chose to collect the following day. The most pleasant gentleman, Daniel, made me feel very confident in his ability to provide me with full details of the service they provide. I will recommend this company to family and friends.

Expertise / Items Examined: Diamond engagement ring.

This family company offers a warmth in their personable approach and their level of expertise in the gem industry is superb. I am highly impressed and will use their service again.

Great Business

I had wonderful service by Jacob when I took my ring to be valued. He was prompt, explained the valuation in detail to me, and answered many questions I had about perhaps selling in the future. He also gave me information about insurance which was helpful. Would highly recommend this business.

Top Rate Service

Very professional service and consideration given to the rings, earrings and pendants presented for valuation. Fast, discreet and well worth the money for the detailed valuations given. I really appreciated that there was no problem with storing my jewellery when the valuations were completed while I was overseas. I will highly recommend this business to my friends and family.

Friendly, Knowledgeable & Efficient

I had a ring valued this week and found Jacob’s service to be fantastic. Making an appointment was simple and he was very friendly and easy to deal with. Follow-up and communication have been really efficient, and I would not hesitate to contact him again in future for any more valuations.

Fast, Friendly & Professional Service

We had a diamond ring that needed to be resized and to be valued. Donald was able to provide us with both at a great price. The ring was to be resized by 3pm the same day when we brought the ring to him at 11am in the morning.

Donald was very friendly and professional and answered all our questions and concerns. Would happily recommend his services to anyone and would gladly use him again.

The report was emailed to me so I had both a physical and electronic report, and said if there was any issues or questions to not hesitate to contact him again. Great aftercare!

Simply the best!

Everything was seamless and Jacob provided an exceptional service. The first valuation letter did not arrive so I asked Jacob to send a new one to my work place. He was very helpful and the second one arrived quickly by courier. The NZ post took ages - the fist original valuation did arrive after 2 weeks, So I have two now. Thanks Jacob, you guys are highly to recommend!

Excellent

Have dealt with both Donald and Jacob now. I cannot recommend their friendly, professional, knowledgeable service enough. Their valuation fee was excellent value and a quick turnaround with peace of mind. Look forward to dealing with them again - will refer to friends and family without a doubt.

Professional Through and Through

Google sent me to this address for same day valuation... and it was a great service (even though I came at day end and was allowed to leave my jewelry safely there).
Great service, very friendly and valuation fee of $90 was well spent to find out about the true replacement value of my jewellery. Loved the respect and appreciation for my treasure. Thank you!

Fantastic Service

I took my grandmother′s diamond engagement ring - over 80 years old to be valued and repaired. Jacob and his team did a beautiful job of repairing and resetting the ring that I am sure it will last for another 80 years and be handed on to generations to come.

Very professional, helpful and took great care of my precious taonga. Thank you.

Insurance Valuations

Donald is one of the most helpful jewellery valuers I've met! Since I am pretty much clueless and confused about the whole process of getting jewellery insurance valuations in New Zealand- the whole mumbo jumbo requirements and policies, Donald ever so kindly pointed me in the right direction. He also gave me guidelines on what to ask and what points to clarify to my insurance provider. He ever so patiently replied to my constant emails and questions regarding valuations.
I have contacted several valuers regarding valuation prices and, rest assured, Jewellery Valuers Company has one of the most competitive pricing for its services in the whole Auckland Region. Aside from getting all the valuations ready in a short period of time, Donald has also kindly given me a good discount for all the work he has done. Highly recommended! Would definitely do business again!

Professional Service - Quality Result

Jewellery Valuers Company Ltd. was recommended to me by a jewellery designer from the South Island and I do not hesitate in sharing my recommendation to others seeking a jewellery valuer. The service I received was professional and prompt, and the beautiful valuation report exceeded all my expectations. I found Donald to be personable and very happy to share his knowledge and enthusiasm for precious stones and diamonds.

Engagement Ring + Eternity Ring

After deliberating for many months as to whether to have my diamond rings enlarged or remodelled I felt that I was given the most practical advice to enable me to make a decision. I am thrilled with my decision to have the rings enlarged and can recommend Donald to any person who is wanting excellent quality of work, value for money and a friendly professional service.
