Jewellery auctions
Jewellery is the largest part of almost every sale: Georgian and Victorian pieces, Art Deco and mid-century, signed modern work, and the unsigned gold that people actually wear. Every lot is examined by a gemmologist on staff before it is catalogued.

How it is described
Metals are tested, not assumed. Stones are measured and weights given where the setting allows it. Where a piece has been altered, repaired or re-shanked, the catalogue says so. A buyer who finds that out after the sale does not come back.
Selling jewellery
Valuations are free, at the rooms or by photograph, and we are happy to look at a single ring or a whole jewellery box. Bring any certificates, receipts or boxes: provenance and original packaging both move the price.
