With over 30 years of experience and more than 150 five-star reviews from clients across Sussex, I provide professional valuations for gold jewellery, silver, coins, bullion, fine antiques and militaria.
Peacehaven is a well-known East Sussex coastal town between Brighton and Newhaven. Whether you have inherited jewellery, are clearing a house or simply want to know what your gold, silver or antiques are worth, I provide honest, no-obligation valuations throughout Peacehaven and the surrounding area.
Rather than travelling with valuable jewellery, silver collections or family heirlooms, I offer a convenient, free home valuation service across Peacehaven and neighbouring coastal communities. You are also very welcome to arrange a private appointment at my Haywards Heath office.
Whether you have a single item or an entire collection, I will carefully assess everything in front of you, explain what you have and provide a clear, no-obligation offer without any pressure to sell.
Examples of Recent Purchases Across Sussex
The photographs below show genuine items I have recently purchased from clients during home visits across Sussex and office appointments in Haywards Heath. They demonstrate the range of gold, silver, jewellery and collectables that I regularly value and buy.
18ct Diamond & Sapphire Ring

This stunning cluster ring showcases a seamless alternating channel setting of brilliant-cut diamonds and deep blue sapphires mounted in high-purity 18ct yellow gold. Acquired during a private consultation, such fine estate pieces are meticulously evaluated by analysing gemstone clarity, colour intensity, total carat weight, and precious metal content to secure a top-market valuation.
Mixed Gold & Silver Jewellery

This diverse assembly of pre-owned treasures features a rich variety of gold rings, silver bands, decorative bangles, and charm elements sourced from clients across the region. Every individual piece undergoes non-destructive purity testing and precise weighing on calibrated scales to ensure accurate, transparent pricing based on live market standards.
Gold Necklace & Teddy Pendant

Exemplifying playful yet timeless craftsmanship, this fine gold box-link chain carries a charming polished teddy bear pendant. Evaluated carefully for its structural integrity, clasp security, and solid gold carat weight, this piece highlights the enduring appeal of collectible novelty gold jewellery.
Old Stamp Collection

Spanning decades of philatelic history, this expansive collection features mint presentation packs, thematic sheets, and well-preserved historical albums from various nations. Philatelic archives of this scale are meticulously appraised by examining watermark varieties, perforation types, historical rarity, and overall collection completeness.

How I Value Gold, Silver & Jewellery
Every valuation is carried out openly and professionally using a combination of precious metal testing and years of experience.
The value of your items is determined by several factors, including:
-
Weight
-
Gold or silver purity
-
Hallmarks
-
Maker's marks
-
Gemstone quality
-
Age
-
Craftsmanship
-
Condition
-
Collector demand
Gold and silver items are weighed using calibrated professional scales and tested where necessary using non-destructive methods.
For antique jewellery, silver and collectables, I also consider historical importance, rarity and current market demand before making an offer.
Types of Gold, Jewellery & Silver I Buy
Fine Jewellery
I regularly purchase diamond rings, engagement rings, sapphire and gemstone jewellery, bracelets, necklaces, brooches, earrings and vintage jewellery.
Gold & Silver
I buy scrap gold, broken chains, wedding bands, bangles, silver tableware, Georgian and Victorian cutlery, coins, bullion and pocket watches.
Antiques & Collectables
I also purchase militaria, campaign medals, historical documents, curios and a wide variety of inherited collections.
There is no need to clean, polish or organise your items before the appointment. I am happy to sort through mixed collections and explain what you have.

My Simple Three-Step Valuation Process
1. Initial Contact
Contact me by phone, WhatsApp, email or through the online enquiry form. We can briefly discuss your items and arrange an appointment at a convenient time. You are also welcome to send photographs by WhatsApp for an initial opinion.
2. The Valuation
Choose between a free home visit across Peacehaven and the surrounding coast, or a private appointment at my Haywards Heath office. I also provide home visits throughout the surrounding East Sussex coastline, including Brighton, Peacehaven, Newhaven and Seaford. I will examine your items in front of you, explain any hallmarks, gemstones or important features and provide a clear, no-obligation offer.
3. Immediate Payment
If you are happy with the offer and decide to sell, payment is made immediately by secure bank transfer. There is no waiting period and no obligation to proceed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy dental gold?
Yes. Dental crowns and bridges can contain gold or other precious metals, which I can assess discreetly during your appointment.
Can you appraise mismatched or incomplete silver cutlery sets?
Yes. It is very common to find partial sets, loose tablespoons or individual antique forks rather than a complete canteen. I assess all silver cutlery according to its weight, sterling silver hallmarks and maker, whether complete or incomplete.
How is payment made?
If you decide to accept my offer, payment is transferred immediately by secure bank transfer before the appointment concludes.
What happens during a home valuation?
I will examine your items in front of you using professional testing methods where required, explain how the valuation has been reached and provide a clear, no-obligation offer.
Do I need receipts or certificates?
No. Original receipts, presentation boxes or diamond certificates are not essential. Where appropriate, I independently assess hallmarks, gemstones and precious metal purity during the appointment.
Do you buy broken gold or damaged silver?
Yes. Broken jewellery, scrap gold, damaged silver and incomplete items can still have significant value and are regularly purchased.
Can you value inherited collections?
Yes. I regularly help families value inherited jewellery, silver, stamps, coins, medals and antiques.
