Scientific precision
Calibrated scales weigh to the milligram. XRF testing is non-destructive, so heirlooms are not harmed.
The journey
How it works
From the first enquiry to immediate settlement, the process is defined by GIA-trained expertise and discretion. Most visits are finished within half an hour.
Step one
Book your appointment
Valuing significant pieces needs comfort and security. Choose a discreet visit to your home anywhere along the Dorset coast and beyond, or a formal consultation at our Bournemouth address, 89 Old Christchurch Road.
Appointments are scheduled at your convenience. There is no pressure to discuss a collection before you are ready, and the service is free when you are selling. Specialists carry official identification and are fully insured.
Mobile home visits
Office consultations
Step two
Expert appraisal of gems and precious metals
Every piece tells a story. GIA-trained specialists use precision tools — from XRF gold and silver purity testing to high-magnification stone analysis — so hallmarks and technical details are captured accurately. Your items never leave your sight.
Market context
We research demand for the era, designer, metal weight and gemstone cut, so the figure reflects real market potential.
Total discretion
Home visits are private. You can decline the offer with no fee and no follow-up pressure.
“Precision is the foundation of trust. We measure to the milligram and grade with decades of experience.”
Step three
Immediate settlement
Once the appraisal is complete, we present a clear competitive price based on real-time market data. There are no hidden fees and no commission. If you accept, funds are cleared the same day. Settlements are finalised only with your agreement.
Same-day bank transfer
Faster Payments to your nominated account, with a clear record of the transaction.
Discreet cash
On-the-spot cash when immediate liquidity is what you prefer.
Zero commission
The offer you hear is the amount you receive.
Keeping pieces, not selling them
Independent insurance and probate valuations
An insurance valuation is a formal document of replacement value — the current retail cost of an equivalent piece — accepted by major UK insurers. Standard home policies often cap a single item around £1,000 to £2,000, so anything above that limit should be listed. Reports follow National Association of Jewellers standards and include photography, weight, purity, gemstone detail and the appraiser’s credentials.
What we document
High-value rings, Rolex and other luxury watches, private collections, Georgian to Art Deco jewellery, silverware and loose gemstones.
How often
Markets move. Updating every two to three years keeps cover accurate. Collections last valued before 2020 are often underinsured.
Probate
Itemised reports for estates, prepared for executors and HMRC, with a respectful approach to inherited collections.
“Our goal is to ensure you have the exact documentation needed to restore your collection to its full value, should the unthinkable happen.” — Adam Myers
