Whether you are selling a single gold ring, an inherited collection or a selection of antiques, I will provide a careful, honest valuation with no obligation to sell.
Are you looking to sell gold, silver or antiques in Heathfield?
With over 30 years of experience in the antique and precious metals trade, my passion has always been rooted in craftsmanship, design, makers’ signatures, condition and history.
Whether you are looking to clear an estate or part with a cherished family heirloom, I provide a discreet, professional valuation and buying service. Rather than just looking at the precious metal content, I evaluate every piece for its unique artistic merit, historical context and maker's signature.
Every valuation begins with a conversation. Some clients prefer the convenience of a home visit, particularly when selling larger collections or inherited items, while others are happy to meet me by appointment at my Haywards Heath office.
Choosing the right buyer is important, so I recommend taking a look at my 150+ five-star Google reviews to see what previous clients have said about my service before arranging a valuation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Gold, Jewellery and Antiques
How do buyers value second-hand or vintage gold jewellery?
Professional buyers look at multiple factors beyond simple weight. While scrap value is calculated using current daily market rates for gold purity (such as 9ct, 14ct or 18ct), fine pieces are evaluated for their designer signatures, period craftsmanship, gem quality and potential resale value as complete items, often yielding a higher return.
Is it better to sell jewellery to a local antique specialist or a high-street pawnbroker?
An antique specialist may assess the item as a complete piece, considering its maker, age, craftsmanship, gemstones and resale potential rather than valuing it solely for its precious-metal content. My own service also gives clients the choice of a discreet home visit or a private office appointment.
​
What documents or items should I prepare before selling my jewellery?
It is helpful to gather any original presentation boxes, historical receipts, insurance valuations or gemmological certificates if you have them. However, lack of paperwork is completely fine; experienced buyers can authenticate hallmarks, metal purities and stones in person during an appointment.
​
How is the price of gold calculated on the day of sale?
Gold prices fluctuate daily in response to the international precious-metals market. I assess each item by confirming its carat, weighing it accurately and considering the current gold price. Jewellery may also be worth more than its metal content when its maker, design, gemstones, age or collectable appeal add value.
​
Are home valuation visits secure and private?
I conduct home valuation visits discreetly and professionally, allowing you to show me your items in the privacy and comfort of your own home. This can be particularly helpful when you have a larger collection, inherited possessions or valuables you would prefer not to carry in public.
