Introduction
If you're looking to sell gold in Sussex, I provide free expert valuations for gold jewellery, sovereigns, coins, bullion and precious metals, either in the comfort of your own home or by appointment at my Haywards Heath office. For more than 30 years I have been buying antiques, jewellery, watches and precious metals throughout Sussex, helping families, collectors and private individuals understand exactly what they own and ensuring they receive a fair, transparent valuation.
Whether you have a single gold ring, inherited jewellery or an entire lifetime's collection, every appointment receives exactly the same care, attention and professional service. Unlike many gold buyers, I take the time to explain what your items are, how they are valued and answer any questions you may have before you make a decision. My aim has always been to provide a friendly, honest service where clients feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process.
A Lifetime Passion for Antiques
Buying antiques has never simply been my profession—it has been a lifelong passion. I developed a fascination with jewellery, craftsmanship and historic objects from a very young age. As a teenager I spent countless hours learning about antiques, gold, silver, coins and collectables, and that passion has never left me. More than thirty years later I still genuinely enjoy discovering unusual pieces, researching their history and helping people understand exactly what they own. There are no pressure sales, no hidden fees and absolutely no obligation to sell.

Understanding Gold: How We Value Your Items
The Science of Purity & Hallmarks
​
When you sell your gold, accuracy is everything. I evaluate your items based on two primary factors: weight and purity.
​
-
Karats (ct): Gold purity is measured in karats. 24ct is pure gold, while 9ct, 14ct, and 18ct indicate the presence of other alloys mixed for durability.
-
Hallmarks: These are official marks stamped on gold items to verify their fineness and origin. I use these to identify the age and authenticity of your jewellery.
-
Professional Assessment: I use Trading Standards-approved scales to ensure a transparent, weight-based offer right in front of you.
