Features — JVal Jewellery Valuation Software

Grade

Assess to convention

Split grading of mounted diamonds — colour and clarity over two grades, higher first, checked as you type.
GIA-correct nomenclature — a specific grade or split grade; "eye clean" and SI3-without-a-report are refused.
Rubover ≠ VVS and other rules flagged at entry and blocked at finalise.
Mounted Diamond Assessment — the full NAJ/IRV worksheet per stone, with plotting to GIA convention.
Pearls, fluorescence and dimensions recorded on the recognised scales, with the standard caveats.
Lab-report verification — one-click links to the GIA, IGI, HRD and De Beers report checkers.

Price

New-replacement build-up — trade gem prices plus a mount costed from your own manufacturing rates.
Open-market model — auction comparables to hammer, then category-specific build-ups from published methodology.
Every source to a common basis — Gem Guide, RapNet, Rapaport and trade prices reduced to a comparable £/ct.
Asian gold — the IRV 2022 per-gram method, scaled to the day's gold price.
Manufacturing cost table — your £/g rates by method and fineness, with a monthly currency check.
Purpose-aware presets — insurance, probate, family division, forced sale and more, each on the right basis.

Prove

Workings kept with the job — every research snip, comparable, grid and calculation stored behind the figure.
Professional Review folder — set anonymised examples aside as you go, ready for institute submission.
Issued documents are never edited — amendments create a numbered revision; the original is preserved.
Pre-flight check — every open issue and advisory listed in one place before you commit.
Rate and evidence provenance — metal rates, exchange and bullion figures recorded per valuation with staleness prompts.
Page integrity — every printed page footered with purpose, client and "page x of y".

The full pack — cover page, transmittal letter, schedule, Notes to the Schedule and appendices.
On your brand — logo, letterhead and choice of document themes, bound-edge margins for presentation.
Signed throughout — letter and schedule both carry the valuer's signature; printing is gated until one is on file.
Riders and standard comments — an editable library, inserted per item or into the letter.
Certificate of Sale — a retail sale document for the counter, in the same house style.
Print or PDF today; true one-click PDF and email attachment in the packaged app.

Run the practice

Client database — add, search, merge and import, with valuations and balances per client.
Invoicing & outstanding — raise, mark paid, and see what's owed at a glance on the dashboard.
Email templates — enquiry replies with your terms and fees, appointment confirmations, reminders — auto-filled.

Multiple valuers — a signing roster with each valuer's credentials and memberships.

Peace of mind

Guidelines it follows, in the open — a Standards page summarising every rule the app checks or enforces.
Your data stays on your computer — nothing sent to any server, no analytics.
Guarded actions — destructive steps double-confirmed; a master password for the riskiest.
Backups by design — a 3-2-1 backup approach in the packaged app, with password-derived encryption.
