💎 About Rachel Kinsella
Rachel provides a trusted mobile valuation service across Devon, Cornwall, and the wider UK.

✨ 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. 💍☕
