Free Professional Valuations Throughout Alfriston & The Cuckmere Valley
Looking to sell gold, jewellery, silver, watches, coins or antiques in Alfriston?
For more than thirty years I've been buying antiques and precious metals throughout Sussex, providing honest valuations, fair offers and a completely pressure-free service. Whether you've inherited family jewellery, are clearing a property or simply have unwanted valuables tucked away, I'm always happy to explain exactly what you have before discussing its value.
​
Alfriston is one of the most picturesque villages in Sussex and somewhere I regularly travel through while visiting clients across the eastern part of the county. Nestled in the beautiful Cuckmere Valley and surrounded by the South Downs National Park, it attracts visitors from across the country, yet still retains the character of a traditional English village.
Because I'm frequently working throughout this part of Sussex, arranging a home visit in Alfriston is straightforward, or if you prefer, you're very welcome to arrange an appointment at my office in Haywards Heath. Every valuation is completely free and without obligation, allowing you to make an informed decision in your own time.
Recent Purchases of Antique Silver
Antique Silver Cutlery Purchased During Recent Sussex Home Visits
This impressive collection of antique silver was purchased during recent home visits in Sussex and included a wide variety of serving pieces, cutlery and tableware. Although many people assume silver is simply worth its weight, older pieces often command considerably higher prices because of their maker, age, craftsmanship and rarity. Every item is individually assessed before I make an offer.
A Personal Service Throughout Alfriston & The Cuckmere Valley
One of the things I enjoy most about visiting Alfriston is that it still feels like a traditional Sussex village. Surrounded by the rolling countryside of the South Downs National Park and the beautiful Cuckmere Valley, it's a place where history, architecture and local character have been wonderfully preserved.
​
Whenever I'm travelling through the area to meet clients, I always appreciate the peaceful atmosphere, the historic High Street and the beautiful views across the Downs. It's one of those places that reminds you why Sussex is such a wonderful county to work in.
Many of the people I meet in Alfriston have lived in the village for many years and are looking for honest advice about inherited jewellery, antique silver, gold or family collections. Others are downsizing, helping relatives move, or simply wanting to understand what their valuables are worth before making any decisions.
​
Whatever your circumstances, I'll always explain exactly what you have and how I've arrived at its value before discussing an offer.

Recent Purchase Of an 18ct White Gold Amethyst & Diamond Ring During a Home Visit in Sussex
Beautiful gemstone jewellery often has a value that extends well beyond its precious metal content. This elegant 18ct white gold ring, set with a vibrant amethyst and surrounded by diamonds, was recently purchased after a professional valuation during a home visit in Sussex. Every gemstone is carefully examined for its quality, condition and overall desirability, ensuring you receive a fair and accurate valuation.
Recent Purchases from Clients Across Sussex
The photographs below show a small selection of genuine purchases made during recent home visits and appointments. Every valuation is carried out personally, and every item is individually assessed to ensure you receive an honest explanation of its value before any offer is made. You can also view more of my work in our customer reviews.
Recent Purchase of Costume Jewellery, Silver & Jade Collectables
Many people assume I only purchase gold jewellery, but that's far from the case. This varied collection included vintage costume jewellery, decorative silver and attractive jade pieces, each requiring a different approach when assessing its value. Experience is important because some items have significant collector appeal, while others are valued for their craftsmanship, maker or materials. Every collection is treated individually, no matter how large or small.
Recent Purchase of Gold Jewellery During Home Visits in Sussex
Gold jewellery remains one of the most common items I am asked to value. Whether it's broken chains, unwanted bracelets, inherited rings or modern jewellery that is no longer worn, every item is carefully tested, weighed and assessed. I always explain the gold content, current market value and whether a piece may be worth more because of its craftsmanship, gemstones or antique interest before making an offer.
Recent Purchase of Gold Sapphire & Diamond Earrings
Gold Sapphire & Diamond Earrings Purchased During a Recent Valuation
These elegant gold earrings, set with rich blue sapphires and sparkling diamonds, were recently purchased following a professional valuation during a home visit in Brighton. Quality gemstone jewellery deserves far more than a simple scrap valuation. I carefully assess every piece for its design, gemstone quality, craftsmanship and overall desirability to ensure you receive a fair valuation that reflects its true market value.
Why Choose Antiques of Sussex?
Selling jewellery, antiques or inherited valuables is something most people only do once or twice in their lifetime. It's important to work with someone who will take the time to explain exactly what you have rather than simply making a quick offer.
For more than thirty years I've built my reputation on honest advice, fair valuations and a friendly, personal service. Whether you're selling a single gold ring, antique silver, watches or an entire family collection, you'll always receive the same professional approach. My aim is to help you understand the history and value of your items so you can make an informed decision without feeling under any pressure.
Have You Inherited Jewellery or Antiques?
Many of the enquiries I receive involve items that have been passed down through generations. It's completely understandable if you're unsure whether something has collector value, precious metal value or simply sentimental importance.
I'm always happy to provide a free professional valuation, explaining exactly what your items are, how they are valued and answering any questions you may have. Whether you decide to sell or keep them, you'll leave with a much clearer understanding of what you own.
