Institute of Registered Valuers
The National Association of Goldsmiths, established in 1894, is the trade association for retail jewellers. Based in the City of London it provides members throughout Great Britain and Ireland with services and facilities through information, communication and representation.
Concerned about valuations the Council of the N.A.G. set up a Working Party in 1987 to comprehensively examine valuation activity. This resulted in the formation of the N.A.G. Registered Valuer Scheme (the forerunner of the Institute). It established and maintained high standards in jewellery and silver valuations. Registration was only granted to those in the jewellery trade who had the necessary knowledge, experience and equipment to undertake work to the exacting standards demanded by the N.A.G.
In 2008 the Association developed the valuations scheme into the Institute of Registered Valuers - a professionally recognised body giving valuations and valuers a higher profile and recognition.
All IRVs are bound by a Code of Practice (Principles of Good Practice for Valuers) which sets the standards to be attained and maintained.
Nicola Clarke is a member of the Institute of Registered Valuers.
