When you design a bespoke ring, every curve, gemstone, and detail carries meaning. It’s more than jewellery - it’s a reflection of your story. And just like any significant creation, it deserves to be cared for and protected with the same precision that brought it to life.
What Is a Lelya In-House Appraisal?
A Lelya Jewellery Appraisal is a detailed certification prepared by the very team who designed and crafted your piece. Unlike third-party reports, ours capture the artistry, provenance, and craftsmanship behind your ring - from metal and gemstone specifications to the creative intent behind the design.
Each appraisal includes:
-
A comprehensive description of your piece - metals, gemstones, dimensions, and distinctive features.
-
High-resolution photographs for identification and insurance purposes.
-
The current replacement value, based on real-time precious metal and gemstone markets.
-
Notes on craftsmanship, hallmarking, and provenance, recording your ring’s origin and story.
-
Confirmation that all materials are ethically sourced and conflict-free, in line with our responsible sourcing policy.
-
A signed certificate from Lelya’s director, verifying authenticity and value.
Why It Matters
An appraisal is more than a formality - it’s your ring’s passport.
While your invoice lists what you purchased, the appraisal defines what makes it unique and valuable. Not all insurers require an appraisal for accurate jewellery cover, but it’s worthwhile for your personal records.
Think of it as the final chapter in your bespoke journey - a written and visual record that ensures your ring’s identity and value are preserved, should you ever need to replace or revalue it.
Designed for Peace of Mind
Our in-house appraisals are available for £50 when commissioning a bespoke or custom piece. It’s a modest addition that offers lasting reassurance - protecting not just your jewellery, but its story.
At Lelya, creating your ring is only part of the journey.
Documenting, valuing, and safeguarding it is how we help your story endure.
