Jewellery & Watch Insurance Valuation
What is an insurance valuation?
A jewellery or watch insurance valuation establishes an appropriate replacement value for insurance purposes and provides a detailed record of the item being valued.
An insurance valuation is different from the amount you may receive if you sold the item. Insurance valuations are concerned with replacement value, whereas resale value reflects the relevant second-hand market.
1. Bring Your Items In
Bring your jewellery, watch or precious items into our Morpeth store. If you have any previous valuations, receipts, certificates, boxes or supporting paperwork, bring these with you where available.
2. We Assess Your Items
Our experienced team will carefully examine each item, taking into account its materials, gemstones, condition, make, model and other relevant details.
3. We Photograph Everything
We take clear photographs of each item to create a detailed visual record to accompany your valuation.
4. Receive Your Written Valuation
We prepare a clear written valuation report detailing the items assessed and their appropriate replacement value for insurance purposes, giving you documentation to keep with your records or provide to your insurer.
How insurance valuations work
Insurance valuation or looking to sell?
A formal insurance valuation and an offer to purchase are different services. If you're considering selling your jewellery, gold, silver or luxury watch instead, Jacksons Jewellers can assess your item and provide a free, no obligation purchase offer with instant payment by cash or bank transfer.
Visit us in Morpeth or get in touch to discuss your valuation needs, and we’ll guide you through the process.

Up for sale is an exceptional, investment-grade collector's piece: a vintage 1967 Rolex Submariner 5513 featuring the highly coveted "Meters First" matte black dial. This watch captures the purest essence of mid-century tool watch design. Because it lacks a date window, the dial achieves perfect symmetry, making the Ref. 5513 a cornerstone reference for serious vintage watch collectors.
This specific piece comes complete with its original authentic vintage Rolex presentation box set, including the signature green stripe outer box and wooden interior display box, adding substantial value and historical completeness to the set.
This watch dates from the definitive golden era of the matte-dial 5513. The signature "Meters First" text layout (200m = 660ft printed above SUBMARINER) indicates early production, right before Rolex switched to the "Feet First" layout for the American market. The matte dial has preserved a beautiful, clean finish, complemented by original tritium hour markers that have aged to a highly desirable, uniform creamy patina. The iconic Mercedes hands match the warm coloration of the dial plots beautifully.
The classic 40mm stainless steel case retains excellent structural integrity with robust lugs and clean lines, it features the original bi-directional rotating bezel. The watch sits on a durable stainless steel Rolex Oyster bracelet, providing a highly comfortable and secure fit.
