- Retail valuation – this is a detailed assessment that will estimate the likely replacement price at a typical jewellery shop. This type of valuation is often used by insurance companies.
- Auction reserve valuation – provides an estimate of the minimum hammer price achievable in an ideal auction market, where time is not a factor. This figure does not include premiums or commissions which can vary at each auction.
- Non-forced sale valuation – an estimate of a reasonable second-hand price between a willing buyer and seller in a fair or specialised market without time constraints on items.
- Forced sale valuation – indicates the price that can be expected when an article must be sold within a short time frame in potentially non-ideal market conditions.
- Second hand valuation – a valuation on used items that takes into account the condition, desirability and collectability of the item.
