London, 22nd January 2025 – On Tuesday, 21st September, the London Diamond Bourse (LDB) had the honour of hosting an exclusive presentation by Rosamond Clayton, a prominent figure in the world of jewellery valuation, to its members, GIA students, and industry professionals. The presentation offered an invaluable introduction to the career path of valuing, providing insights into the route to becoming a qualified valuer through the National Association of Jewellers’ (NAJ) Institute of Registered Valuers (IRV).

Rosamond’s session covered several critical areas, including the NAJ IRV’s Code of Conduct, professional codes of practice, and the essential steps for becoming a Registered Valuer. She emphasised the importance of these standards in ensuring that businesses remain legally compliant and profitable, outlining the requirements for application to the NAJ IRV and the various areas of expertise that valuers must master.

Following the presentation, Rosamond was joined by industry experts Barry Sullivan and Anna Rogers for a panel discussion that provided further insights into their successful careers as Registered Valuers. Together, they offered attendees a deeper understanding of the practical aspects of valuation and the professional journey.
