Jewellery
We hold four fine jewellery sales a year, with free valuations for sellers. Our sales feature antique jewellery, coloured gemstones such as Burmese ruby, diamond rings and signed designer pieces.
Our specialist online jewellery auctions cover the whole spectrum, from modern and designer pieces to antique jewellery, and from coloured gemstone jewellery to diamond rings. The sales reach a buyer base of thousands, both locally and internationally.
Many of our most striking results have come from items that arrived in a box of costume jewellery. It pays to have anything you are unsure about looked over by a specialist.
Diamond rings with insurance valuations from years ago regularly exceed expectations, and coloured gemstones, including Burmese ruby, continue to find strong international interest.
