Newick is one of East Sussex's most attractive villages, well known for its historic village green, period homes and long-established community. It's exactly the sort of place where jewellery, silver and family heirlooms are often passed down through generations, and where many people appreciate the reassurance of having items valued in their own home.
Rather than travelling into a busy town with valuable belongings, I offer a professional Home Valuation Service throughout Newick and the surrounding villages. If you prefer, you're also very welcome to arrange an appointment at my office in Haywards Heath, giving you the choice of a home visit or an office valuation.
Whether you're dealing with an inherited collection, clearing a family home or simply curious about an individual item, I'm always happy to 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 or from clients who have visited my office in Haywards Heath. They demonstrate the wide variety of jewellery, watches and antiques I regularly value and buy.
Vintage Gold Watches
Vintage watches are always fascinating to examine. This recent collection of ladies' and gentlemen's gold watches demonstrates the quality and variety that often remains tucked away in family homes.
18ct Gold & Pearl Necklace
This beautiful 18ct gold and pearl necklace was purchased from a client who visited my Haywards Heath office for a valuation. Fine jewellery like this combines quality craftsmanship with timeless elegance and is always a pleasure to examine.
Silver Collection
From antique spoons and decorative silverware to jewellery and chains, silver collections often contain pieces accumulated over many years. They remain highly sought after for both their craftsmanship and precious metal content.
Gold Jewellery Collection
Collections like this often include rings, bracelets, necklaces and pendants gathered over several generations. Every valuation is different, and it's always rewarding to uncover pieces with both sentimental and intrinsic value.

What I Buy
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.
If you're specifically looking to sell precious metal jewellery, you may also find my Sell Gold in Sussex page helpful.
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 gold jewellery, jewellery or antiques and simply don't know where to begin. Some items are valuable because of their precious metal content, while others are worth considerably more because of their age, rarity, craftsmanship or historical importance.
​
During every valuation I'll explain exactly what I'm looking at and why something may have value. My aim is to help you understand what you own rather than simply offer a price.
Whether we meet in your home or at my Haywards Heath office, there is never any obligation to sell, and I'm always happy to answer questions throughout the appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my jewellery or antiques are worth anything?
Many people contact me because they've inherited a jewellery box or a collection of antiques and simply aren't sure whether anything has value. During a valuation, I'll explain exactly what each item is, what makes it desirable (if applicable), and whether it has value because of its materials, craftsmanship or rarity. There is never any obligation to sell.
Can you tell me what inherited jewellery is worth?
Yes. Inherited jewellery is one of the most common reasons people arrange a valuation. Whether it's a single engagement ring or an entire jewellery box, I'll explain what you have, identify precious metals and gemstones where possible, and provide an honest valuation based on current market demand.
Do you only buy valuable antiques?
Not at all. Some of the most interesting purchases I make are modest collections that have been carefully looked after for many years. I buy everything from scrap gold and silver to antique jewellery, watches, coins, medals, postcards and unusual collectables.
Is it better to have a home visit or visit your office?
Many clients prefer a home visit because they don't have to transport valuable or fragile items. However, if it's more convenient, you're very welcome to arrange an appointment at my Haywards Heath office. Both options offer exactly the same professional valuation service and you'll receive the same honest advice and no-obligation valuation.
What happens if I decide not to sell?
That's completely fine. There is never any pressure to accept my offer. My aim is to give you a professional valuation and explain exactly what you have, so you can decide in your own time whether selling is the right choice.
