Brighten up your February with a relaxed and sparkling DWIB networking brunch featuring the brilliant Rachel Kinsella MIRV FGA CPAA, Independent Jewellery Valuer, Gemmologist, and founder of Devon Jewellery Valuations.💎 About Rachel Kinsella
Rachel provides a trusted mobile valuation service across Devon, Cornwall, and the wider UK. She specialises in assessing jewellery, silverware, and watches for insurance, probate, divorce settlement, and division of assets. With years of experience in the auction world, she combines deep professional knowledge with a heartfelt appreciation for the stories and craftsmanship behind every piece.

She also consults on civil and criminal cases, creating CPR-compliant expert reports with clarity and confidence.
✨ Rachel was awarded Highly Commended in the Female Sole Trader category at the DWIB Awards 2025.
During this friendly and informal morning, Rachel will lift the lid on how jewellery is valued, what really drives those values, and some of the fascinating tales that come with the treasures she examines.
Members are warmly invited to bring along pieces of jewellery for testing, discussion, or simply to discover more about their history and worth.
✨ Make the most of the session
Bring items you’d like advice on, whether for insurance, selling, division of assets, or general curiosity. Rachel will offer honest, practical guidance. Verbal advice is always free, and DWIB members will receive a 25% discount on any formal valuation reports.
It promises to be a lovely morning of conversation, networking, delicious brunch, and plenty of sparkle. 💍☕
