Our experienced professional valuers and fully trained gemmologists, qualified by the Gemmological Association of Great Britain (GEM-A).

We have over fifty years of experience of selling and purchasing and are happy to examine your jewellery and collectables with no obligation on your part to sell.

As well as purchasing jewellery and silver to add to our stock and fulfil the many requirements of our private clientele, we also sell to a network of international dealers, enabling us to offer you top prices.

As one of the country’s biggest buyers of privately owned jewellery we have built a loyal customer following, with people regularly returning to us. This is because our offers are almost always higher than offers made by other companies.

Why not sell at auction?

One might think that a public auction would be the best way of ensuring the highest price for your jewellery. However, today’s average Buyer’s Premium at a remarkable 30% inclusive of VAT charged by the auctioneers means buyers reduce their bids accordingly. In addition, sellers are charged with saleroom commission, insurance and illustration fees. Taken together, this means that if your jewellery does sell in the auction for which it was submitted, you might only recover a little over half of the true value of your property.

From the date your jewellery is consigned to the auction house, it might take up to three months for the first suitable sale and at least a month thereafter until you are paid.

Another disadvantage of sale by auction is that if the piece does not reach the agreed reserve price, fees will still be payable.

You might need to wait again for many months to re-submit your jewellery to another sale, and the reserve price might be lowered the second time round as the piece has already been exposed and will therefore be less desirable to a potential buyer.

What types of jewellery do you buy?

Heritage Gold & Collectables buys a wide range of new and second hand jewellery including gold, platinum and diamond items, dress rings, diamond engagement rings, gold signet rings, gold bracelets, brooches, earrings and diamond studs, necklaces, gold chains, pendants and lockets, tiaras, jewelled objets d’art, Russian works of art, Fabergé, silver items and much more.

We buy jewellery from all periods, antique to modern, contemporary, vintage and estate. We highly value 18th, 19th and 20th century jewellery: jewels from the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian eras. We also purchase Art Nouveau and Art Deco jewellery through the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s and up to the present day.

We buy loose diamonds and precious stones: rubies, sapphires, emeralds, pearls, aquamarines, amethysts and topaz and all other semi-precious gemstones as well as old gold, platinum and silver.

Heritage Gold & Collectables buys jewellery signed by renowned makers such as Cartier, Lacloche, Boucheron, Chaumet, Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany, David Morris, Castellani, Giuliano, Philipps and Faberge. Although this list is not exclusive, signed pieces are highly collectable and carry an enormous premium which we are happy to reflect in our offers.
