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.
Polegate is a well-connected East Sussex town close to Eastbourne, Hailsham and the surrounding Wealden villages. Whether you have inherited jewellery, are sorting through a silver collection or simply want to know what your gold or antiques are worth, I provide honest, no-obligation valuations throughout Polegate and the surrounding area.
Rather than travelling with valuable jewellery, silver collections or family heirlooms, I offer a convenient, free Home Valuation Service across Polegate and neighbouring villages. 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 purchased from clients across Sussex. They demonstrate the range of gold, silver and jewellery that I regularly value and buy.
Silver Georgian & Victorian Cutlery
This remarkable collection of silver flatware highlights the exceptional quality of Georgian and Victorian silversmithing. Featuring traditional hallmarks, maker's marks, and rich patination accumulated over generations, antique silver cutlery is meticulously assessed by weight, sterling silver purity, and historical provenance to ensure a top-market valuation.
18ct Gold & Sapphire Ring
Combining deep blue sapphires with sparkling accent diamonds set in rich 18ct yellow gold, this cluster ring exemplifies classic estate jewellery design. Such pieces are evaluated by analyzing gemstone color intensity, clarity, cut, and precious metal weight to provide an accurate, competitive offer.
Gold Wedding Band & Bangle
Classic solid gold pieces like this traditional wedding band and sleek gold bangle represent enduring craftsmanship and timeless style. Every pre-owned and vintage gold item is carefully tested for carat purity using non-destructive methods and weighed on calibrated scales to reflect live daily market spot values.
18ct Gold & Diamond Ring
Set in high-purity 18ct gold, this elegant solitaire diamond ring captures maximum brilliance through its expert cut and classic setting. Fine diamond jewellery of this caliber undergoes a detailed assessment of stone quality and precious metal content to secure an immediate, transparent valuation.

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.

Contact me by phone, WhatsApp, email or through the online enquiry form. We can briefly discuss your items and arrange a convenient appointment.
You may also send photographs by WhatsApp for an initial opinion.

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, coins, medals and antiques.
