Official Appraisal of Jewelry and Precious Metals

At our store, we guarantee a service of excellence and transparency in the appraisal of your pieces. Our team relies on a certified appraiser to provide you with the best advice.
The designation of Official Appraiser is exclusively awarded by the Imprensa Nacional Casa da Moeda (INCM - Portuguese Mint and Official Printing Office). This certification requires rigorous training and passing exams in precious metals, gemology, and legislation.
Our team is proud to include Carlos dos Santos Castelo Branco Carneiro, an Official Appraiser certified by the INCM . 

What is a Certified Appraisal?
It is a detailed document with legal validity. It describes the intrinsic characteristics and the individual value of each item. These official appraisals are essential for various legal purposes, such as:
📌 Asset division and inheritances;
📌 Asset valuation and insurance;
📌 Judicial proceedings and courts.

Our Appraisal Process
Appraising a piece of jewelry goes far beyond adding up the weight of the metal. It requires a deep knowledge of the market, the history of the piece, and its artistic value. Our process is fast and thorough:
✔ Rigorous Analysis: We assess the precious metal content through hallmarks and proven rigorous methods, such as the touchstone.
✔ Weighing and Quotation: We use high-precision scales. We base our valuations on the official daily quotes (LBMA) for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.
✔ Extra Valuation: We always consider the condition, the antiquity, and the artistic valuation components of the piece.
✔ Informal Appraisal and Acquisition: If your goal is simply to sell, we offer a completely free informal appraisal. This service does not imply any obligation to sell.

Should you decide to sell your pieces, we guarantee a simple, confidential, and secure acquisition process. Payment is made on the spot, strictly complying with current legislation. Trust our experience to value your assets safely.
