Sell Jewellery in London

Our London appointments take place at 47 Maddox Street, Mayfair, W1S 2PG, by arrangement only. There is no shop counter: you book a time, sit down with our specialist, and go through your jewellery piece by piece. Many clients bring a whole jewellery box, often inherited, and we are happy to look at everything, from a single ring to a collection. If coming into central London does not suit you, we arrange a free FedEx collection from home, or you can post by Royal Mail Special Delivery. Our Braintree office in Essex also sees clients by appointment.

• Antique jewellery. Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco rings, brooches, lockets, bracelets and necklaces, including mourning jewellery, cameos and old-cut diamonds.
• Vintage jewellery. Retro gold of the 1940s, and 1950s to 1980s cocktail rings, gold bracelets and signed modernist pieces.
• Diamond jewellery. Engagement and eternity rings, earrings, pendants and line bracelets.
• Gemstone jewellery. Sapphire, ruby, emerald, opal, pearl and coloured stone pieces.
• Signed and designer jewellery. Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany, Bulgari, Boucheron and British makers such as Grima and Kutchinsky.
• Gold and silver jewellery, including pieces that need repair.

A jewellery box often holds pieces of very different kinds: a Victorian brooch, a signed bracelet, a diamond ring and a tangle of broken chains. They should not be valued the same way. We identify each piece first, read its hallmarks and maker's marks, look at the stones and the workmanship, and value it as what it is. Only pieces that are genuinely beyond wearing are valued as scrap, and we tell you which ones they are.

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

You can have your jewellery valued free in two ways: book a Mayfair appointment and bring it in, or send photographs and details from home. Either way, we look at each piece, tell you what it is, and give you an estimate, subject to inspection, with no obligation to sell. Photograph valuations come back within one working day. For a full explanation of how we value jewellery, see our jewellery valuation page.

• Specialist knowledge. We buy antique, vintage, signed and modern jewellery every week, and value pieces by period and maker.
• Piece-by-piece valuation. So a good jewel is never priced as scrap.
• Discretion. Private appointments, no queue, no shop window.
• Same-day payment after inspection by bank transfer or in cash, once you accept.
• No obligation. If you change your mind, your jewellery is returned at our cost.

Most of the jewellery we buy arrives with no box, no receipt and no certificate, particularly inherited pieces. We check each piece ourselves: the hallmarks and maker's marks, the stones, the construction and the condition. If you do have boxes, certificates or old receipts, bring them, because a fitted case or a certificate adds to the story of a piece. We ask for photo ID and proof of address when we buy.
