Is it worth the drive to Ascot rather than selling in Maidenhead?

Usually, yes - and the difference tends to grow with the value of the piece. High-street buyers price to a formula that covers retail overheads; we price each piece individually against live metal rates and, for signed or period jewellery, current auction results. Twenty minutes often pays for itself several times over. If you’d rather not travel at all, we’ll come to you.

Can you visit us in Bray or Cookham?

Yes - home visits across SL6 are by appointment, typically within a few days. They suit collections, single pieces of significant value, or anyone who simply prefers the conversation to happen at home. Identification on arrival, written acknowledgement for anything we take away.

We’re clearing a family house - can you look at everything at once?

That’s one of the most common ways we meet Maidenhead clients. Bring the lot, or have us visit: we’ll separate what carries real value from what doesn’t, piece by piece, with a written breakdown - and we’re straightforward about items that would do better at auction or aren’t worth selling at all.

How quickly is payment made?

Same day, by bank transfer, once you accept a figure - whether the valuation happened in Ascot, at your home, or by post. There is no pressure to decide on the spot; a written offer stays open while you think.

Why Maidenhead & Bray clients choose us

A specialist conversation, not a transaction

The alternative to selling in town
Maidenhead’s high street offers chain jewellers and pawnbrokers - convenient, but priced for retail margins and speed. We are a dedicated buying house: no shop, no window stock to fund, offers built from live metal prices and current auction results rather than a counter formula.
At home with riverside estates and older families
The stretch from Bray through Cookham holds some of Berkshire’s longest-established family homes, and the jewellery that comes out of them reflects it - Victorian and Art Deco pieces, inherited diamonds, watch collections built over decades. We value these on provenance and period, not bullion weight.
Discretion that suits a village
Bray is a small place and word travels. Our appointments are private by design - one specialist, one client, at our Ascot office or your own kitchen table. Nobody sees you walk into a shop with a jewellery box.
