Trusted Gold Buying & Antique Valuations in Steyning, West Sussex

30+ Years of Experience | Independent Sussex Antique Buyer | Private Valuations | Honest Advice 

What does Antiques of Sussex buy in Steyning?

 I buy gold jewellery, antique jewellery, silver, coins, medals, watches and selected collectables from clients throughout Steyning, Bramber, Upper Beeding and the surrounding Sussex villages.

I have spent over 30 years meeting families across Sussex and helping them understand the true value behind jewellery, antiques and collectables that have often been sitting unnoticed for years.

 

One of the things I enjoy most about this trade is the personal side of what I do. Every home, every collection and every item has a story behind it.

 

Steyning and the surrounding villages have many older family homes where jewellery, silver and collectables have often been passed down through generations. Sometimes these items are treasured, sometimes they are simply stored away and forgotten.

 

My aim is always to provide a relaxed and honest valuation, explaining what you have and why it may be valuable.

 

While many clients prefer the convenience of a private home visit, I also offer appointments at my office in Haywards Heath if you would rather meet in a professional setting. You are always welcome to bring a family member or trusted friend along with you.

 

Recently, while visiting a client in Sussex, I purchased a collection of gold jewellery that perfectly highlights why a full assessment is so important.

​

Recent Sussex Acquisition: Understanding the Hidden Value in a Family Gold Collection

Collection of mixed gold jewellery including chains, pendants and rings purchased by Antiques of Sussex from a Sussex client.

This collection of mixed gold jewellery was purchased during a private home valuation. The items included substantial gents gold chains, elegant ladies chains, gold cross pendants and classic rings.

 

When I assess a collection like this, I look far beyond simply weighing the gold. I examine hallmarks, craftsmanship, condition, design, maker details and whether individual pieces have additional collector appeal.

 

A well-made gold chain, an unusual pendant or a beautifully preserved vintage ring can sometimes have value beyond the metal content alone. This is why I always prefer to look at the complete item rather than treating everything as scrap gold.

 

A private valuation allows us to sit down together, examine each piece carefully and understand the story behind the jewellery.

Expert Valuations Across My Main Specialist Areas

Gold & Jewellery Valuations

From broken gold and unwanted chains through to antique rings, Vintage costume jewellery collections and fine jewellery, I assess the complete piece. Craftsmanship, age, design and historical interest can all influence value. 

Silver Valuation Service

I regularly buy and value sterling silver, silver jewellery, tea services, flatware and decorative silver items. Many pieces remain hidden away in cupboards for years and may be worth far more than expected. 

Coins & Medal Valuations

Old coins and medals need careful assessment. Rarity, condition, historical background and collector demand all play an important role.

I assist families with probate and inheritance valuations by providing clear explanations and professional assessments.

A: Yes. I regularly visit clients throughout Steyning, Bramber, Upper Beeding and the surrounding villages. Private home visits allow you to have your items assessed comfortably without needing to transport valuable jewellery or collections.

 

Q: Can I visit you instead of having a home valuation?

A: Yes. Some clients prefer a neutral setting, and you are welcome to arrange an appointment at my Haywards Heath office. You can also bring a family member or friend with you.
