Sell Gold, Silver, Jewellery & Antiques in Crowborough
Antiques of Sussex provides professional gold buying, jewellery assessments and antique purchasing services for customers in Crowborough and the surrounding East Sussex area.
As an independent local specialist, I understand that selling jewellery, inherited items or collections built up over many years is a personal decision. Many people simply want to understand what they own before deciding what to do next, and I provide a discreet, straightforward service focused on clear explanations and honest advice.
I regularly visit customers in their own homes throughout Crowborough, offering a private alternative to visiting a high-street buyer. Whether you have a single gold ring, a collection of silver coins, watches, inherited jewellery, vintage costume jewellery, or a mixed inherited collection, I can help identify what you have and explain its potential value without pressure to sell.
​
I personally handle every appointment, so you always deal directly with the person assessing your items.
A Recent Sussex Collection Valuation
I recently helped a Sussex client with an extensive family collection from Newick. The actual items from this visit included a varied mixture of 19th- and 20th-century jewellery.
The items carefully assessed featured a selection of gold, silver, and pearl pieces, including historic brooches, chains, a striking classic bangle, detailed pendants, rings, and elegant necklaces.
The items were safely catalogued and assessed directly in front of the client, allowing them to fully understand what they owned and make an informed decision about selling.
Buying Gold Jewellery in Crowborough
Gold jewellery often has a story behind it. A piece may have been inherited from a family member, collected over many years, or simply sitting unused in a drawer.
I assess all types of gold jewellery, including:
​
-
Gold rings, chains, bracelets and necklaces
-
Antique jewellery and vintage costume jewellery collections.
-
Wedding and engagement rings
-
Inherited jewellery collections
-
Broken or damaged gold items
-
Jewellery where the owner is unsure of its value
I look at more than just the gold content. Hallmarks, craftsmanship, age, condition and design can all affect the value of a piece.​​​​

Buying Silver, Coins, Medals & Collections in Crowborough
Silver items can vary greatly in value, and a careful assessment is important before making any decisions.
I am interested in:
​
-
Sterling silver coins
-
Commemorative coins
-
Silver medals
-
Military medals and related items
-
Private collections built up over many years
-
Silver items from inherited estates
I explain what I find during the assessment so you understand the reasons behind any valuation.
Antique Buying Service in Crowborough
Alongside precious metals, I also have a strong interest in antiques and collectables. If you are unsure whether something has value, I am happy to take a look at items discovered in inherited or family collections.
What My Local Customers Say
★★★★★
"It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Wayne. Prompt response to my enquiry, a home visit was arranged for the following day. He arrived at the agreed time and after a good chat about my unwanted bits and pieces we negotiated a mutually agreeable price. I found him charming, personable and very professional and a pleasure to do business with! If ever I have anything else of value to sell I will be in touch."

Why Choose a Home Valuation Visit?
Many people prefer not to take valuable or sentimental items into a busy shop environment. A home visit allows you to discuss your items privately, take your time asking questions and avoid a high-pressure sales environment.
​
I visit customers throughout Crowborough and the surrounding villages, including areas around Jarvis Brook, Alderbrook and the wider High Weald area. Every appointment is arranged at a convenient time.
