Valuation

The first step to selling your item is to request a free auction valuation. This can be done online here, by emailing us, in person either at one of our regular valuation days, anytime in our Notting Hill office or by appointment at your own home.

One of our specialists will talk you through the selling process as well as the market value for your jewels and will suggest the best type of sale to enter your lots into, as well as the nearest appropriate sale date.

Agree

When this has all been agreed, we sign an auction agreement agreeing the auction estimate, reserve price and sale date for each of your items, as well as confirming agreement to our terms and conditions.

Once signed, we can begin making your items sell:

• If having your items valued in person, we can begin this immediately.
• If receiving a valuation online, you can send in your consignment to us in the post (via Royal Mail Special Delivery) to:
