About us

A Lifetime of Trade Experience. Scientific Authority. Absolute Transparency.

When you inherit a collection of family silver, fine jewellery, or vintage timepieces, you are holding onto far more than monetary value—you are holding onto history, craftsmanship, and family memories. Deciding where to take these items requires trust, sensitivity, and absolute confidence in the person evaluating them.

Heritage Gold & Collectables was founded to give clients a welcoming, professional, and completely transparent alternative to unpredictable auctions and high-street "scrap" buyers.

The Heritage Behind Our Name

In an era of overnight gold buyers and automated valuations, true trade intuition cannot be learned overnight.

Our Director, Alana Craig FGA, was raised in the heart of the traditional antiques trade. Guided from childhood by her father, a respected trade veteran with over 50 years of experience. Alana’s education began in auction houses, antique fairs, and private collections across the country. This upbringing gave her a rare, lifelong "trade memory" for identifying period craftsmanship, rare hallmarks, and historical value that others easily overlook.

Academic Rigour Meets Trade Wisdom

While deep trade experience is essential, we believe passion should always be backed by hard science.

Alana is a Fellow of the Gemmological Association (FGA) the international gold standard in gemmology qualifications. This academic authority allows us to examine precious stones with complete scientific precision, distinguishing natural rarities from clever imitations or treated gems with absolute certainty.

When you bring your items to us, you benefit from both worlds: over half a century of practical trade wisdom combined with world-class gemmological science.

Our Promises to You

We Value Artistry, Not Just Metal Weight: Standard buyers often weigh gold on a scale and pay scrap value. We evaluate the maker, the historical era, and the intricate craftsmanship, ensuring you are paid for the true artistry of your piece.
A Fair Alternative to Auctions: Selling at auction can take up to four months, carries heavy commission fees, and leaves you guessing what your items will fetch. We offer clear, direct assessments with immediate cash or bank transfer payment and zero hidden fees.
No Pressure, Ever: We understand that parting with inherited or sentimental possessions can be an emotional process. Every assessment we offer is completely free, confidential, and without obligation.
