No High Street. No Fuss. Just a Private Valuation.
Set beside Ashdown Forest, Forest Row has a character quite unlike many other Sussex villages, with its independent village centre, surrounding countryside and strong sense of community.
If you have gold, silver, jewellery, watches or antiques to sell, there is no need to trail around different highstreet shops. I offer free, discreet home valuations throughout Forest Row (RH18) and the surrounding Ashdown Forest area. We arrange a convenient time, I examine your items privately in your home, explain what you have, and provide a clear, no-obligation offer.
Selling your valuables has never been so easy.
Prefer to visit me? Free private appointments are available at my Haywards Heath office by prior arrangement.
Backed by more than 30 years of experience and over 150 genuine five-star Google reviews, my aim is to make selling your valuables straightforward, transparent and comfortable.
There is never any obligation to sell.
Heavy Gold Deserves a Proper Assessment
9ct Gold Gents Bracelet
A robust 9ct yellow gold men's curb link bracelet featuring a secure lobster clasp and clear 375 hallmark, acquired during a private home valuation in Sussex.
Substantial men's gold bracelets can contain a considerable amount of gold, which is why accurate testing and weighing matters.
​
When assessing a piece like this, I check the 375 hallmark, indicating 37.5% pure gold, accurately weigh the item and calculate its value based on current precious-metal markets while also considering any additional worth as wearable jewellery.
What I Buy
You don't need a large collection to arrange a valuation. I regularly buy:
-
Gold chains, bracelets, rings and bangles
-
Broken or unwanted gold jewellery
-
Diamond and gemstone jewellery
-
Gold and silver coins
-
Silver jewellery and silverware
-
Watches and pocket watches
-
Vintage and costume jewellery
-
Small antiques and collectables
-
Inherited jewellery and family collections
Not sure if something is worth showing me? Include it. I'd much rather take a quick look than have you leave a potentially valuable piece sitting forgotten in a drawer.
From Gold Chains to Complete Collections
9ct Gold Gents Chain
A classic 9ct yellow gold men's curb link chain necklace with a polished finish, purchased during a home visit in Sussex.
Gold chains are among the most frequent items I am asked to value. Whether inherited, unworn for years or found at the back of a drawer, selling them doesn't need to be complicated.
During your appointment, I examine the links, check the hallmarks and weigh the piece right in front of you — no prior cleaning or polishing required.
Don't Forget the Smaller Pieces
Ladies Gold & Pearl Earrings
A charming collection of ladies' gold and pearl stud earrings with butterfly backs, acquired during a private valuation appointment in Sussex.
Smaller items shouldn't automatically be overlooked when sorting through a jewellery box.
Gold earrings, pearl jewellery, single studs, damaged pieces and mismatched pairs are all worth showing me. I evaluate them individually to determine their precious-metal or resale value, and there is no need to sort through everything beforehand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer free home valuations in Forest Row and around Ashdown Forest?
Yes. I provide free, no-obligation home visits throughout Forest Row (RH18) and the surrounding Ashdown Forest area, so your valuables can remain safely at home while they are assessed.
Do I need to take my gold to a high-street shop?
No. I can visit you privately in Forest Row, or you can book a free private appointment at my Haywards Heath office if you prefer to come to me.
How do you value heavy 9ct gold chains and bracelets?
I evaluate the weight, gold purity, hallmarks, condition and any potential additional value as wearable jewellery. With 9ct gold you will commonly see a 375 hallmark, indicating 37.5% pure gold.
Are broken, mismatched or single gold earrings worth selling?
Yes. A missing partner or broken fitting does not remove the intrinsic precious-metal value. Single earrings, broken chains and other incomplete pieces are always worth including in your valuation.
Are gold and pearl earrings worth anything?
They can be. I examine the gold or other precious-metal components as well as the pearls and the piece as a whole, as value can vary depending on quality, condition and construction.
I've inherited jewellery but don't know what's valuable. Can you look through everything?
Absolutely. You don't need to identify the items yourself. I'm happy to go through the collection with you and separate anything that deserves closer inspection. If you're uncertain about something, include it rather than leaving it behind.
