There are several options for jewellery valuations but we recommend that you use a qualified registered Appraiser. It is also essential you obtain an up-to-date appraisal of your jewellery and other valuable items every two to three years. Knights The Jewellers are a independently owned store that can arrange a valuation for you for insurances purposes.
You can have any design for a engagement ring but traditionally a single diamond solitaire is called a engagement ring. Another tradition is for family to hand down their engagement ring to sons or daughters – this also can be used as a engagement ring but you should have all the settings checked and any repairs done to restore the ring as over time the setting or band may have worn.
If the ring is unable to be restored to its original state then we can help you to redesign using the stones and metal into a new or similar ring. It is also vital you get your rings valued for insurance purposes.
The best way to get a accurate ring size is to pop in to your nearest jewellery store and have you finger measured by sizing rings. In New Zealand we have ring sizes by letter rather than numbers.
