Stashings of valuables

Halifax bank has conducted a survey and found that the average household owns £1986 worth of jewellery with most of it stashed away and never worn. With soaring petrol and food bills currently cutting many people's budget for luxury items, recycling old jewellery that is never worn is an excellent way of updating ones look without having to spend a fortune. We have seen an increase in customers coming in with old pieces of jewellery, often inherited pieces with diamonds and other valuable gemstones, wanting us to help them design something unique and modern that they don't want to put back in their drawers. Again, customers really like the fact that we do all the work ourselves, on-site.

Halifax also found in their study that 35% of the population has never had their jewellery valued. Having each piece of jewellery valued for insurance purposes is extremely important in order to be covered for the correct amount on the house insurance. Every diamond purchase at Pomeroi comes with a free valuation for insurance purposes, but we also do these, for a minimal fee, for non-Pomeroi bought items.
