If you're looking to sell gold, silver, jewellery or antiques in Saltdean, I offer free home valuations, discreet home visits and private appointments at my Haywards Heath office. If you decide to sell, payment is made by secure bank transfer.
Having spent more than three decades visiting households across Sussex, I understand that selling inherited or personal items is something people often want to handle with care and discretion. Whether you are sorting through a family collection, dealing with inherited items or selling individual pieces of jewellery, I am happy to assess gold, silver, antiques, costume jewellery, stamps and mixed collections.
It is completely normal to wonder whether your items hold any real value, which is why I always encourage people to get in touch, even if it's just a single piece. Sending a quick photograph via WhatsApp gives me a clear starting point to offer an initial opinion before setting up a face-to-face meeting. Whenever I come by for an appointment, you are always welcome to invite a friend or family member to sit in with you.

During a recent home visit in Saltdean, I purchased a mixed group of gold items from a local client. The collection included a variety of pieces, all individually assessed for gold content, weight, age and overall value before agreeing a purchase. Home visits like this are a convenient option for Saltdean clients who prefer a private valuation in their own home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Gold, Jewellery and Antiques in Saltdean
Do you buy diamond and sapphire jewellery like cluster rings?
Yes, absolutely. Fine gemstone pieces—including sapphire, ruby, emerald and diamond rings—are evaluated for the quality and size of the stones, their precious metal mount, and their overall period craftsmanship rather than just their raw scrap weight.
What kind of gold earrings are you looking to buy?
I am always keen to look at all styles of vintage and modern gold earrings, from classic yellow gold twisted hoops to diamond-cut white gold designs and gemstone drops, whether they are hollow or solid gold.
Can you value and buy stamp collections?
Yes. Stamp albums, presentation sheets, first-day covers and large accumulations are very welcome. Whether it's an inherited collection or years of dedicated collecting, I can review them and make a fair offer.
Do I need to clean my jewellery before a valuation?
Please leave everything exactly as it is. Trying to polish older items or clean fine jewellery can sometimes remove subtle patinas, damage softer gemstones or scratch delicate metals. It is always best to let me inspect them in their natural state.
Can I sell just a single piece of jewellery?
Of course. Whether you have a large inherited collection or just a single pair of gold earrings or a diamond ring you no longer wear, you are entirely welcome to get in touch. There is no minimum requirement, and every item is assessed individually.
