Sell Gold, Jewellery & Antiques in Mayfield
I recently carried out a home visit in Mayfield and was reminded what a beautiful part of East Sussex it is. With its period homes, historic buildings and beautiful countryside, the village has a real sense of history. It's exactly the sort of place where treasured jewellery, silver and antiques are often passed down through generations of the same family.
Because Mayfield is surrounded by countryside, travelling with valuable or fragile items isn't always convenient. That's why I provide a professional Home Valuation Service throughout Mayfield and the surrounding villages.
Whether you've inherited a single piece of jewellery, have a collection of antiques, or simply want to know what something is worth, I'm happy to visit you at home, explain exactly what you have and provide a free, no-obligation valuation.
Recent Purchases Made During Home Visits Across Sussex
The photographs below show items I have purchased during home visits across Sussex. These pieces demonstrate the wide variety of jewellery, precious metals and antiques I regularly value and buy.
Gold Jewellery Collection
A varied collection of gold chains, bracelets and earrings purchased during a recent home visit in Sussex. Collections like this often include different gold purities and styles gathered over many years.
Scrap Gold & Broken Jewellery
Broken chains, damaged rings and scrap gold can still have considerable value. I regularly purchase both wearable jewellery and items valued primarily for their precious metal content.
Why Choose a Home Visit?
Many people are understandably reluctant to carry valuable jewellery or antiques into town. A home visit allows you to have everything valued in the comfort of your own home, with no pressure and no obligation to sell.
During every appointment I will:
​
-
Carefully examine each item.
-
Explain what you have.
-
Identify hallmarks and maker's marks where possible.
-
Test gold and precious metals when required.
-
Answer any questions you may have.
-
Make a fair offer if you decide to sell.
If we agree on a price, payment is made immediately by bank transfer.
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.

Every home visit is different, and one of the most enjoyable aspects of my work is discovering the variety of items people have carefully looked after over the years. Here are a few more examples of purchases made during home visits across Sussex.
Mixed Jewellery Collection
No two home visits are ever the same. Mixed collections often contain gold, silver and sentimental pieces that deserve careful identification before being valued.
