Professional service in Pakistan
Clear evidence. Defensible assessment. Practical reporting.
A gold and jewellery valuation certificate provides a dated, documented assessment of precious-metal and jewellery holdings. BHVEC identifies and records the submitted items, considers weight, purity, karat, stones, workmanship, condition and the relevant market rate, and presents the conclusion in a clear certificate or detailed item schedule suited to the instructed purpose.

BHVEC technical perspective
How gold bars and bullion are assessed
Gold bars, biscuits and coins are considered with reference to identifiable weight, stated or verified fineness and the applicable market rate on the valuation date. Serial numbers, refinery marks, certificates and purchase evidence are recorded where available.
- Weight and unit of measurement
- Fineness or karat
- Identifying marks and serial numbers
- Relevant Pakistan gold-market rate
- Valuation date and currency
BHVEC technical perspective
How jewellery requires a different analysis
Jewellery cannot always be valued by gross weight alone. Non-gold components, stones, fastenings and design features may affect net gold content, while diamonds or precious stones require separate supporting evidence when included.
- Gross versus net gold weight
- Karat and purity
- Gemstones and diamonds
- Condition and marketability
- Workmanship where relevant to the instructed basis
BHVEC technical perspective
Use for embassy and immigration documentation
The report can support an applicant’s evidence of assets, financial standing, home-country ties or consolidated net worth when gold and jewellery are relevant to the receiving authority’s requirements. It is supporting valuation evidence and does not replace bank statements or guarantee a visa decision.
- Visa and immigration applications
- Embassy documentation
- Source-of-funds files
- Net-worth statements
- Overseas residency submissions

Questions clients ask
Frequently asked questions
Can BHVEC prepare a gold valuation certificate for a visa application?
Yes. BHVEC can prepare a purpose-specific certificate recording the applicant, inspected items, valuation date, assessment basis and concluded value. The applicant should share any format or document requirement issued by the embassy or immigration adviser before inspection.
Is physical inspection required?
Physical inspection is normally appropriate where item identification, weight, purity, condition or photography must be recorded. BHVEC confirms the inspection requirement after reviewing the intended use and available documentation.
Are diamonds and gemstones included?
They may be considered where adequate identification or specialist evidence is available. The scope will distinguish precious-metal value from stone-related value and state any reliance or limitation.
Which gold rate is used?
The assessment refers to relevant market-rate evidence applicable on the stated valuation date, adjusted for purity, net gold content and other item-specific considerations where appropriate.
Can the certificate show a foreign-currency equivalent?
Where required, the report may show the assessed value in PKR together with an indicated foreign-currency equivalent using a stated exchange rate and date.
