Sell Gold, Silver & Vintage Costume Jewellery in Ringmer

Trusted Jewellery Buyers & Private Valuations Across Ringmer

Antiques of Sussex provides trusted gold buying services, jewellery assessments and antique purchasing for customers in Ringmer and the surrounding Lewes district.

 

With over 30 years of experience and more than 150 genuine 5-star customer reviews, I have built my reputation on honest advice, professional assessments and a discreet personal service.

 

I specialise in buying gold, silver, jewellery, watches, coins, medals and selected antiques, offering private home visits throughout Ringmer and the surrounding area, as well as appointments at my Haywards Heath office.

 

Many people assume that only solid gold, precious metals or gemstones are worth assessing. However, large collections of vintage costume jewellery can also hold significant value due to their age, design, maker, rarity, condition and collector appeal.

 

Whether you have inherited jewellery, a family collection, items from a house clearance, or simply pieces sitting unused in a drawer, I can help you understand what you have and whether it may be worth a closer assessment.

A Recent Vintage Costume Jewellery Collection Assessment

I recently helped a client in Sussex who had inherited a large collection of vintage costume jewellery. I bought that vintage costume jewellery in Sussex during a home visit.

 

The collection included dozens of gold-toned and silver-toned brooches collected over many years, along with pieces featuring interesting designs, intricate details and decorative elements.

 

Because the items were not hallmarked gold or sterling silver, the owner initially believed they had little value and almost decided not to enquire.

 

However, vintage costume jewellery is not always valued purely by precious metal content. Certain designs, eras, makers and well-preserved collections can be highly sought after by collectors.

 

During the private home visit, we carefully sorted through the collection and discussed the individual pieces. The owner was surprised by the interest in the collection and the offer provided after assessment.

 

This is why I always encourage customers to ask before assuming something has no value.
