Free Professional Valuations Throughout Newhaven & BN9
Whether you're looking to sell a single gold ring, inherited jewellery, antique silver, old coins, vintage watches or an entire collection, I provide free professional valuations throughout Newhaven and the surrounding BN9 area.
With more than thirty years' experience buying antiques, jewellery and precious metals across Sussex, I offer a friendly, knowledgeable and completely pressure-free service. Many of the people I visit have inherited family possessions, are downsizing, or simply want an honest opinion before deciding whether to sell.
I regularly travel to Newhaven and the surrounding villages, making home visits convenient and straightforward. If you prefer, you're equally welcome to arrange an appointment at my office in Haywards Heath, where I provide the same relaxed and professional valuation service.
Whatever you have, I'll always explain exactly what it is, how I value it and happily answer any questions before making a fair offer. There is never any obligation to sell.
A Gallery of Recent Gold Purchases Across Sussex
A varied collection of gold jewellery was purchased during a recent valuation in Sussex and included a bracelet, rings and a selection of gold items collected over many years. Every valuation is carried out individually. Rather than simply weighing everything together, I carefully assess each piece for its precious metal content, age, craftsmanship and potential collector value before making an offer. In many cases, jewellery can be worth considerably more than its scrap gold value alone.
A Friendly Service Throughout Newhaven & The Surrounding Villages
One of the things I enjoy about travelling to Newhaven is the journey itself. Heading towards the coast takes me through some of Sussex's most attractive countryside, passing picturesque villages, period homes and beautiful open landscapes before arriving in Newhaven Harbour, one of Sussex's best-known working ports.
​
I regularly travel through Kingston near Lewes (BN7), Rodmell (BN7), Iford (BN7), Piddinghoe (BN9), Glynde (BN8), Swanborough (BN7) and Firle (BN8) before arriving in Newhaven. I also frequently visit nearby Saltdean (BN2), Peacehaven (BN10), Rottingdean (BN2), Denton (BN9), Bishopstone (BN25) and the surrounding coastal communities.
​
Because I'm in the area so often, arranging a free home valuation visit is simple. Whether you're selling a single gold ring, inherited jewellery or an entire collection, you'll receive exactly the same friendly, professional service that has built my reputation throughout Sussex over the past three decades.
Jewellery, Gold, Silver & Antique Buyers Throughout Newhaven
As an independent antique buyer, I'm interested in far more than just gold jewellery. During my visits throughout Newhaven and the surrounding BN9 area, I regularly purchase a wide variety of antiques, collectables and precious metals from private clients.
Many people initially contact me about one or two items but are often surprised to discover that I also purchase watches, coins, medals, silverware and complete inherited collections. Every valuation is carried out personally by me, with the time taken to explain exactly what you have before discussing its value.

Recent Jewellery Purchases
The photographs below show a small selection of genuine purchases made during recent home visits and appointments. Every collection is different, which is why I always take the time to assess each item individually and explain how I arrive at my valuation.
Recent Purchase of an 18ct White Gold & Diamond Ring
This elegant 18ct white gold ring was purchased during a recent home visit in Sussex. When valuing diamond rings, I don't simply consider the gold content. The quality of the diamonds, overall design, craftsmanship, condition and current market demand all play an important part in establishing an accurate value.
Recent Purchase of 18ct White Gold Diamond & Sapphire Earrings
These beautiful 18ct white gold diamond & sapphire earrings formed part of another recent jewellery purchase. Fine diamond jewellery often carries value well beyond its precious metal content, particularly when the workmanship and gemstones are of a high standard. Every piece is carefully examined before any offer is made.
Recent Purchase of a 22ct Gold Wedding Band
Traditional 22-carat wedding bands remain one of the most common items I purchase during home visits. While they are often valued for their high gold content, every ring is individually assessed to ensure any additional value is properly recognised before I make an offer.
Recent Purchase of Antique Silver
Recent Purchase of Antique Silver Napkin Rings
This collection of antique silver, including a set of 12 intricate silver napkin rings, was purchased from a client who visited me by appointment at my Haywards Heath office. Many people assume silver is simply weighed for its scrap value, but antique silver pieces can command much higher prices based on their age, maker, rarity and craftsmanship. I always examine each piece individually to ensure the best possible valuation.
Why People Choose Antiques of Sussex?
Selling jewellery, gold or inherited antiques isn't something most people do every day, and many clients tell me they simply don't know where to start. For more than thirty years I've built my reputation on honest advice, fair valuations and a friendly, personal approach. I'll explain exactly what you have, how it has been valued and answer any questions before making an offer. Whether you decide to sell or keep your items is entirely your choice; there is never any pressure.
A Recent Home Visit in Newhaven
This collection was purchased during a recent home visit in Newhaven and included a variety of gold chains, lockets, pendants and other jewellery collected over many years. Every home visit is carried out at a pace that suits the client, allowing plenty of time to examine each item carefully and explain exactly how values are reached.
What One Newhaven Client Had to Say
"I had the pleasure of a home visit today from Wayne at Antiques of Sussex to value and potentially purchase some of my jewellery. The whole process was made incredibly simple by Wayne and his team. After an excellent initial phone consultation, I had a home visit booked within 24 hours. Wayne arrived exactly at the arranged time and was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. There was absolutely nopressure or obligation to sell any of my items if I chose not to. That said, I did sell a few pieces, as the prices Wayne offered were the best I had been quoted. He also took the time to give me helpful advice about another piece of jewellery that needs repairing, which I really appreciated. I can’t recommend Antiques of Sussex highly enough. The service was outstanding from start to finish, and I would definitely use the company again in the future."
