Valuing precious metals and gemstones is a separate licence with the Saudi Authority for Accredited Valuers, requiring familiarity with global bullion and stone markets and with recognised grading standards.
We value jewellery and gold retail inventory, private collections and estates, financing collateral, retail company assets in a sale or merger, and seized items where judicial bodies so request.
The report is grounded in net weight, purity and the metal price at the valuation date, and in stone grading against the four recognised characteristics, with adjustments for workmanship, rarity and market conditions, plus photographic documentation of every piece or lot.

Frequently asked questions
Do you carry out the valuation at the client's premises?
Yes. We work at the store, vault or location the client designates for security reasons; items are never moved outside the client's control.
Does the value change with the gold price?
Yes, which is why the report carries an explicit valuation date and references the metal price on that date. We recommend updating the report after major swings or before use for a financing purpose.
Does the report cover stone certificates?
We rely on accompanying laboratory certificates where available and reference them in the report. Where none exist we assess characteristics by visual examination and state this explicitly as a report assumption.
