CAN AI REALLY VALUE YOUR JEWELLERY OR LUXURY WATCH FROM A PHOTOGRAPH? 👀
Absolutely not.
AI can do remarkable things with an image. But there is an important difference between what an image appears to show and what can actually be established.
A photograph can show an item. It cannot examine it.

CONDITION MATTERS 🔍
Wear, damage, repairs, alterations, hallmarks, construction and internal features can all affect value. These require physical examination by a professional valuer to properly assess and verify.

LUXURY WATCHES ⏱️
A luxury watch cannot be authenticated from a photograph. Model and serial numbers, originality and components, modifications, service history and condition need to be properly examined and verified.

Identification requires more than an image. Identity, quality, treatments and whether a stone is natural or synthetic require professional examination and testing — and, where necessary, advanced testing.
Accurate identification is the foundation of an accurate valuation.
A valuation is also more than a number. Before asking “What is it worth?”, a professional valuer must establish:
“What exactly am I looking at?”
AI can assist with research, information and data. The professional valuer brings examination, specialist knowledge, experience and professional judgement.
AI CAN ASSIST & SUPPORT A PROFESSIONAL VALUER. IT CANNOT REPLACE ONE.

And one final thought...
The final image in this carousel was created, in part, using AI. That was deliberate.
AI helped create the image. The professional information, knowledge and message behind it came from a professional valuer.
Perhaps that demonstrates the point rather well.

Artificial intelligence can analyse an image in seconds. But a professional valuation requires something a photograph alone cannot provide: evidence.

A quick stop to pay homage to an Iconic Mark. In 1485, the first use of the Castle Hallmark of Edinburgh Assay Office began to be applied to items passing assay. The Edinburgh Assay Office is the last remaining assay office in Scotland.
