Jewellery crafted from a combination of gold and platinum often requires a detailed assessment to determine the distinct value of each precious metal. During a home visit, I carefully examine hallmarked pieces like this to ensure all components are accurately identified and valued fairly.

Thinking About Selling Jewellery in Bognor Regis?

Whether you’ve inherited jewellery, discovered forgotten gold while clearing cupboards, or simply have pieces you no longer wear, knowing where to sell them isn’t always straightforward. My aim is to make the entire process simple, transparent and completely pressure-free.

 

Bognor Regis has a wonderful mix of long-established family homes, coastal properties and residents who have accumulated jewellery, watches, silver and collectables over many years. It is common for me to meet clients who have jewellery boxes that haven’t been opened for decades, containing everything from treasured family keepsakes to pieces they had completely forgotten about.

 

Rather than asking you to transport valuable items, I offer discreet home valuations throughout Bognor Regis and the surrounding area. Every item is assessed individually in front of you, I explain exactly what you have, and you are free to decide whether selling is the right choice. There is never any pressure or obligation.

The Items I Most Commonly Value

No two appointments are ever the same, but there are certain items I come across time and time again during home visits across Sussex.

 

These include:

  • Gold bracelets and bangles

  • Gold chains and necklaces

  • Saint Christopher pendants and gold charms

  • Diamond rings and gemstone jewellery

  • Broken or unwanted gold jewellery

  • Single gold earrings

  • Gold sovereigns and bullion coins

  • Vintage wristwatches and antique pocket watches

  • Silver jewellery and designer silver

  • Mixed jewellery collections built up over many years

 

Many clients are pleasantly surprised to discover that pieces they assumed had little value turn out to be among the most interesting items in the collection. Whether an item is valuable because of its precious metal content, craftsmanship, age or collector appeal, I'll explain exactly what you have before providing a fair, no-obligation valuation.

Saint Christopher pendants are among the most enduring pieces of jewellery I come across. Whether they’ve been worn every day for decades or carefully stored away as family keepsakes, I assess each pendant individually, explaining its gold content, condition and any additional value it may hold beyond its precious metal weight.

9ct Gold Gate Bracelet

Traditional gate bracelets have remained popular for generations and are frequently found in inherited jewellery collections. When valuing pieces like this, I carefully inspect the safety chain, clasp, hallmarks and overall construction so every detail is taken into account before making an offer.

What Happens During Your Appointment?

One of the questions I’m asked most often is what actually happens during a home valuation. The answer is very straightforward.

 

I’ll carefully look through your jewellery and valuables with you, identifying each item individually and explaining anything that may be of interest, such as hallmarks, precious metal purity, maker’s marks or unusual design features. If an item contains gemstones, I’ll also explain how they influence its value.

 

Every piece is assessed individually rather than treated as part of one large collection. Gold and platinum are tested using professional, non-destructive methods where required, and all precious metals are weighed accurately before a valuation is calculated.

 

You’re encouraged to ask questions throughout the appointment. Many clients enjoy learning more about jewellery that has been in their family for years, while others are simply pleased to understand exactly how the valuation has been reached.

 

Once everything has been assessed, I’ll provide a clear, no-obligation offer. If you decide to sell, payment is made immediately by secure bank transfer. If you decide to keep your items, that’s absolutely fine— there is never any pressure or expectation to proceed.

Many of my clients tell me that simply having someone explain exactly what they own gives them confidence, regardless of whether they choose to sell on the day. That's the type of service I aim to provide every time—honest, informative and completely without obligation.

Items People Are Often Surprised Have Value

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is seeing the surprise on people’s faces when they discover that jewellery they’ve overlooked for years can still be worth a significant amount.

 

During home visits around Sussex, I regularly come across small items tucked away in jewellery boxes, drawers and keepsake tins that owners assumed were either broken, incomplete or no longer of any interest. In reality, many of these pieces still carry considerable value because of their precious metal content, craftsmanship or collectability.

 

No matter how large or small the collection, every item is examined individually so that nothing important is overlooked.

Sorting through an accumulation of smaller items—from single earrings to novelty charms like this miniature gold dice pendant—often reveals a surprising variety of valuable jewellery. Rather than treating everything as one mixed lot, I carefully sort, test and identify every piece individually so you can clearly see how the final valuation has been reached.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are single gold earrings worth selling?
Yes. Single earrings are among the most common items I come across during home visits. Even if you've lost the matching earring years ago, a genuine gold piece still retains its precious metal value and can easily be included as part of your valuation.

 

Do Saint Christopher pendants have value beyond their gold content?
Sometimes they do. While their precious metal value is always important, older Saint Christopher pendants can also appeal to collectors depending on their maker, age, design and condition. Every pendant is individually assessed before I provide a valuation.

 

Can platinum jewellery be worth more than gold?
Yes. Platinum is generally rarer than gold and often commands a higher value, although the final valuation depends on purity, weight, craftsmanship and current market demand. Jewellery made from both platinum and gold is carefully assessed to ensure each precious metal is valued correctly.

 

Should I repair a broken bracelet before selling it?
No. In most cases it's better to leave jewellery exactly as it is. Unnecessary repairs can sometimes reduce originality or cost more than they add in value. I always recommend having the piece professionally assessed before carrying out any repairs.

 

Can you tell whether my jewellery is solid gold or gold plated?
Yes. Using professional, non-destructive testing methods, together with hallmark identification and over 30 years of experience, I can determine whether an item is solid gold, gold plated or made from another precious metal during the appointment.

 

Do you buy small collections as well as large ones?
Absolutely. Some appointments involve a lifetime of jewellery and antiques, while others are simply a handful of rings or a couple of gold pendants. Every valuation receives the same care, attention and honest, no-obligation advice, regardless of the size of the collection.
