Designer pieces we have bought and sold, photographed by us.

Designer houses we buy

Every house is identified and checked in its own way, so each has its own page explaining what we buy, how we check it and what to photograph. Choose yours below.

Not listed? We buy signed jewellery from many other houses and makers. Send photographs and we will identify it. Pieces bought abroad sell to us in the same way: designer jewelry bought in New York is checked and valued exactly like jewellery bought in London.

Selling direct, at auction or on consignment

There are three usual ways to sell a designer piece, and each suits a different seller.

Direct to MozerisAt auctionOn consignment
When you are paidThe same day, after inspectionAfter the sale and the auction house's settlement periodWhen the piece sells
Seller's commissionNoneUsually charged, with other feesAgreed with the dealer
Certainty of the figureAgreed before you sellDepends on the bidding on the dayDepends on finding a buyer
Where it happensMayfair, Braintree, post or free collectionThrough the auction houseThrough the dealer

Selling direct suits most people: you know the figure before you commit and you are paid on the day. For an important piece where you would rather wait for the highest possible return, we can also sell on consignment for you, and we will explain honestly which route we think suits your piece.

How we value your piece

We never quote a figure until we know exactly what a piece is. Checking comes first, and we never rely on a single feature.

The signature and numbers
House signatures, serial and reference numbers, and designer signatures such as Elsa Peretti or Schlumberger, read for engraving quality as well as content.
Hallmarks and assay marks
French eagle's head and dog's head marks, Italian maker's registration marks, Swiss marks and full British hallmarks with their date letters, checked against where and when the piece claims to have been made.
Construction and finish
Screws, clasps, settings, engraving and the inside of the piece, where copies most often fail.
Boxes and papers
Any box, certificate or receipt is checked against the piece itself: models, serial numbers and dates should agree.
Stones
Diamonds graded and coloured stones identified by testing. For stones without a laboratory certificate, our figures are careful estimates, not laboratory certified.

Then we look at what moves the valuation: the exact model and version, the condition, the period and any provenance, and whether the box, certificate and receipt are present. We buy with or without them. We value designer pieces as the work of their maker, never simply by their metal.

Free value inspection

Free, no obligation, returned at our cost if you decline.

Who values your jewellery

Mozeris Fine AntiquesMayfair (by appointment) and our Braintree office

We have been buying and valuing antique and designer jewellery and watches since 2015, and he personally reviews every valuation request that comes to us. Over that time we have bought and sold signed pieces from most of the houses on this page, from a Cartier Paris platinum and diamond wristwatch of about 1913 and a Van Cleef & Arpels Lion Ébouriffé brooch to Boucheron, Buccellati, Kutchinsky and Grima, and hundreds of original jewellers' presentation cases, whose lids we read to identify where a piece was first sold.

What to photograph for an accurate valuation

  1. The whole piece, front on

    In daylight, on a plain background.

  2. The signature and serial

    Close up and in focus, so every letter reads.

  3. The marks and fittings

    Hallmarks, 750 or 925, clasps and screws.

  4. Any box, papers or receipt

    Helpful, but we buy without them too.

Questions about selling designer jewellery

Where can I sell designer jewellery in the UK?

You can sell designer jewellery directly to Mozeris Fine Antiques. Send photographs for a free valuation, then book an appointment at our Mayfair address in London or our Braintree office in Essex, send the piece by Royal Mail Special Delivery, or arrange a free FedEx collection from your home. You are paid the same day after inspection.

How do I get my designer jewellery valued for free?

Send us photographs through our valuation form or on WhatsApp: the front of the piece, the signature, serial number and hallmarks, and any box or papers. Our specialist reviews every request, and you get a reply within one working day with an estimate, subject to inspection. The valuation is free and there is no obligation to sell.

Do you buy designer jewellery without the box or papers?

Yes. We check the piece itself, including its signature, serial number, hallmarks, construction and any box or papers, so missing boxes, certificates or receipts do not stop a sale. Complete sets are easier to resell, which our estimate takes into account, and certificates for important diamonds are always worth sending.

How quickly do you pay?

You are paid the same day after inspection, by bank transfer or in cash, once you accept our offer. At a Mayfair or Braintree appointment that happens during your visit. Pieces posted or collected by FedEx are inspected when they arrive, and paid for that day. If you decline, we return the piece at our cost.

Which designer brands do you buy?

We buy Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany & Co., Bvlgari, Boucheron, Chopard, Hermès, Chaumet, Piaget, Pomellato, Buccellati, Dior and Gucci, and British makers including Boodles, Theo Fennell, Stephen Webster, Kutchinsky, Andrew Grima and Alan Martin Gard. We also buy signed pieces from many other houses. Each brand has its own page.

Is it better to sell designer jewellery to a dealer or at auction?

It depends on what matters most to you. Selling direct gives you an agreed figure and same-day payment after inspection, with no seller's commission. Auction can suit rare pieces but involves fees, waiting and an uncertain result. For important pieces we also offer consignment. We will tell you honestly which suits your piece.

How do you check a piece is genuine?

We judge several things together, never one: the signature and serial number, the hallmarks and assay marks against where the piece claims to come from, the construction and finish, the stones, and any box, certificate or receipt. We do all of this before we make any offer.

Do you collect from anywhere in the UK?

Yes. We arrange a free FedEx collection from your home anywhere in the UK, once we have agreed an estimate from your photographs. You can also send the piece by Royal Mail Special Delivery and we refund the postage, or bring it to an appointment in Mayfair or Braintree.
