In practice
Assessment at object level.
Within the Jewellery category, standard valuation models fall short: value is determined by craftsmanship, materials, condition, provenance and a thin international market.
Feniks Taxaties brings the hands-on, object-level expertise that IWD Group requires for this niche, complementary to our broader risk and valuation practice.
The collaboration is governed by the IWD Group methodology, peer review and independence frameworks that apply to every specialist in the network.
