Selling Gold & Jewellery - Kingston

The Private Alternative to Kingston’s Retail Counters

Kingston is one of the biggest retail centres in the South-East, and its jewellers are built for buying customers - not selling ones. When you are the seller, the economics flip: retail overheads come out of your price. We are a dedicated buying house forty minutes up the A308, we visit KT addresses by appointment, and our offers are built from live rates and auction results.

Why Kingston upon Thames clients choose us

A specialist conversation, not a transaction

  • Seller-side economics, not shop economics

    A Kingston retail jeweller buying your ring must fund the Bentall Centre-adjacent rent it sells from. We hold no retail stock and no shop window: each piece is priced individually against the live metal rate or auction comparables, and the difference lands in your figure.

  • At home on Coombe Hill

    The Coombe estates - Coombe Hill, Coombe Park, George Road - hold some of South-West London’s most substantial private collections. Home visits here are routine for us: one specialist, arranged in advance, written acknowledgement for every piece.

  • Experienced with generational pieces

    Kingston and New Malden households bring us three generations of jewellery at once - a 1950s engagement ring, 1980s gold chains, a modern watch. We separate what carries premium value from what prices as metal, and explain which is which before anything is weighed.

Kingston upon Thames - Frequently Asked

Local questions, answered

  • Why not sell to a jeweller in the Bentall Centre or the Ancient Market?

    Get their quote - genuinely, it costs nothing. Then compare it with ours. A retailer’s buying price must leave room for their selling price and everything between; a buying house prices to the market directly. For anything beyond simple scrap the gap is usually significant, and for watches and signed pieces it can be substantial.

  • Do you come to Coombe and Kingston Hill?

    Regularly - the Coombe estates are among our most visited addresses on this side of London. We arrange a named specialist and a specific time, follow whatever entry protocols your road uses, and nothing leaves the house without written acknowledgement.

  • Do you buy East Asian and 22ct gold?

    Yes - including Korean 24ct pieces common in New Malden households and 22ct South Asian jewellery. High-carat gold carries the strongest per-gram rates; we weigh and quote against the live rate in front of you, with no testing fees.

  • I’m in Surbiton without a car - what’s the easiest route?

    Book a home visit - it is what most KT clients without easy transport do, and there is no charge or obligation attached. Alternatively, insured Special Delivery from Surbiton post office reaches us next morning and we call you with a figure the same day.
