Not Sure It's Worth Contacting Me? Just Ask.
Set on the eastern edge of Brighton between the South Downs and the coast, Woodingdean is well known for its elevated position, with landmarks including Woodingdean Water Well and nearby Castle Hill National Nature Reserve.
If you have gold, silver, jewellery, watches, coins or antiques you're unsure about, I offer free private home valuations throughout Woodingdean (BN2).
You don't need to know what something is worth before getting in touch — that's what I'm here to help with.
Whether it's one ring, an old watch, a few coins or a collection of items, you're welcome to contact me even if you're only curious and aren't ready to sell.
I'll examine what you have, explain it clearly and make you an offer where appropriate. Whether you sell is entirely up to you.
Only Have One Piece? That’s Absolutely Fine
Vintage 18ct Gold & Diamond Ring
A vintage 18ct gold ring set with a decorative cluster of diamonds, acquired during a private home valuation in Sussex.

You don't need a jewellery box full of items to contact me.
A single ring like this is absolutely worth showing me.
I can examine the gold, stones, construction and condition and explain what you have. If you'd like to sell, I'll make you an offer. If you'd rather keep it, that's completely fine too.
Found an Old Watch and Don't Know Where to Start?
Collection of Three Vintage Omega Watches
A collection of three vintage Omega wristwatches, including an Omega Megasonic 720 accompanied by its original box and paperwork.

Old watches can be difficult to value from appearance alone.
The maker, model, movement, originality, condition and any original boxes or paperwork can all be important.
So if you've found an old Omega or another watch tucked away in a drawer, don't worry about researching it first. Just show me what you have and I'll take a look.
Old Foreign Coins? Don’t Assume They’re Just Loose Change
1848 French Silver Coin
An antique French silver coin dated 1848, acquired during a private home valuation in Sussex.

1927 Australian Silver Florin
A 1927 Australian silver florin featuring Parliament House, acquired during a private home valuation in Sussex.

Old coins don't have to be British to be worth looking at.
Foreign coins can contain silver, and their age, metal content, condition and collectability can all play a part in their value.
If you've inherited a few old coins or discovered some tucked away in a drawer, don't clean them and don't worry about identifying them yourself.
Just show me what you have — even if it's only one coin.
