Hailsham is a town with a rich history and a strong sense of community. From its historic Market Square to the surrounding countryside, it has many long-established family homes where jewellery, silver and antiques have often been passed down through generations.
Living in or around Hailsham shouldn't mean you have to travel into the busy centres of Eastbourne or Brighton to receive a professional valuation. That's why I offer a dedicated Home Valuation Service throughout Hailsham and the surrounding villages, allowing you to have your items assessed in the comfort of your own home.
Whether you've inherited a single piece of jewellery, are dealing with a family estate or simply want to know what something is worth, I'm happy to explain exactly what you have and provide a free, no-obligation valuation.
Recent Purchases Made During Home Visits
The photographs below show items I have purchased during home visits. They demonstrate the wide variety of jewellery, precious metals and antiques I regularly value and buy.
Silver & Turquoise Jewellery Collection
An interesting collection combining silver jewellery with unusual turquoise-set pieces. Every valuation is different, and discovering distinctive items like these is one of the most enjoyable parts of my work.
Antiques of Sussex is always keen to look at any items of silver. If preferred, we also offer the option to book an appointment at one of our office spaces.
Vintage Postcard Collection
Collections of postcards often tell fascinating stories about local history and travel. Well-organised collections covering counties and countries can be surprisingly desirable.

What I Buy
I have a deep interest in items with history, craftsmanship and quality. I am always happy to provide a professional, no-obligation valuation for:
​
Fine & Antique Jewellery
From Victorian and Edwardian heirlooms to modern diamond-set pieces, I am always interested in quality jewellery. Whether it's gold, platinum or gemstone jewellery, I'll carefully assess its condition, craftsmanship and desirability before providing an honest valuation.
Precious Metals & Gold
I buy gold in almost any form, including rings, chains, bracelets and sovereigns, as well as silver items such as tea sets, cutlery, trays and silver boxes. I am also happy to purchase broken or damaged gold and silver, which can still have significant value.
Watches & Timepieces
I have a particular interest in antique and vintage watches. Whether you have a single watch or an entire collection, I'm always happy to examine it and explain its potential value.
Historical Collectables & Antiques
My interest extends to fascinating smaller antiques including coins, medals, militaria and high-quality vintage collectables. These items often have historical importance as well as collector appeal.
Paper Ephemera & Curios
I am always intrigued by well-kept collections of vintage postcards, antiquarian books, illustrated bibles, historical documents, prints and other unusual paper ephemera.
If you have an item that doesn't fit neatly into these categories, please don't hesitate to ask. You can also visit my What We Buy page to see more examples of the items I regularly purchase.
My Valuation Process
Many people contact me after inheriting jewellery or antiques from parents or grandparents and simply don't know where to start. Some items are valuable because of their gold or silver content. Others are worth considerably more because of their age, rarity, craftsmanship, maker or historical interest.
During your home visit I will explain exactly what I'm looking at and why something may be valuable. I believe it's important that you understand what you have, not just what someone is prepared to pay for it.
​
I'll carefully examine each item, identify hallmarks and maker's marks where possible, test precious metals if required, and explain how I arrive at my valuation.
Whether you decide to sell or not, you'll leave with a better understanding of your jewellery or antiques.
There is never any obligation to sell, and I'm always happy to answer questions throughout the appointment.

Vintage Opal Jewellery Set
Opals are valued for their colour and individuality. This elegant necklace and matching earrings are a lovely example of vintage jewellery that continues to be appreciated today.
Diamond Stud Earrings
These 18ct white gold diamond stud earrings required careful assessment of the stones as well as the gold settings. Understanding quality is just as important as weighing precious metals.
