Buying jewellery and solid silverware

We are always interested in acquiring jewellery, solid silverware, exceptional diamonds, and important coloured gemstones. We are particularly keen to buy signed jewels by leading houses such as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron, Bulgari, Chaumet, Tiffany & Co., Harry Winston, and European names including Wolfers Frères, Van Strydonck, Castellani, Mellerio, and Buccellati.

We buy from private individuals and professionals alike, and every enquiry is handled with fairness, discretion, and clear communication, whether it concerns a single piece, an estate, or a larger group of items. As we are based in Europe, practical considerations mean that purchases from outside Europe are only feasible when the jewel is of notable importance or value.

How to offer your jewellery

If you wish to offer us a jewel, the first step is to send us a clear photograph. Rather than sending a hundred images of the same piece, we prefer one or two good photos that show several jewels together whenever possible. This helps us to evaluate more efficiently. We will always reply. Our expertise allows us to recognise from a photograph whether a jewel is not, or possibly could be, of interest to us. If the piece seems promising, we will contact you for further details or to arrange a personal viewing.
