About South Coast Jewellers

Our Story

South Coast Jewellers brings together a team with over two decades of experience and a combined 80 years of expertise in jewellery, precious metals, and luxury watch valuation. We set out with a clear purpose: to give people across the South Coast a trusted, convenient way to sell their valuables -- without the uncertainty that so often comes with traditional dealers and high-street buyers.

We recognised that many people had jewellery, gold, watches, and other precious items sitting unused in drawers and jewellery boxes, often with no easy way to find out what they were worth. Our answer was simple: bring the expertise to the customer. Our home-visit valuation service was built around the idea that selling your items should be comfortable, transparent, and fair.

What We Stand For

Honesty and Transparency

Every valuation we provide is based on live market data and clearly explained. We never use pressure tactics, and we always show you how we arrived at our offer. We genuinely believe you should only sell when you are ready and confident in the price.

Expertise You Can Trust

Our team includes specialists in gold and precious metals, gemstones and diamonds, luxury watches, antiques, and fine jewellery. With over two decades of experience and 80 years of combined expertise, we have handled thousands of valuations -- from single gold rings to entire inherited collections. We stay current with market trends and pricing so that every offer reflects true, fair value.

Safety and Security

Every home visit is carried out by a fully insured, enhanced DBS-checked professional. We understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our insurance covers every item we assess from the moment we arrive.

Convenience First

We come to you. No need to carry valuable items through town or queue at a shop counter. We visit your home at a time that suits you, assess your items on the spot, and pay you the same day if you accept our offer. For those outside our immediate area, our postal service offers the same level of expertise and speed.

Our Expertise

We buy and value a wide range of precious items:

• Gold jewellery -- rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and broken gold in any carat
• Precious metals -- silver, platinum, and palladium in all forms
• Gemstones and diamonds -- loose stones, set pieces, and certified diamonds
• Luxury watches -- Rolex, Omega, Cartier, Breitling, and other premium brands
• Antiques and collectibles -- silverware, coins, medals, and vintage pieces
• Costume jewellery -- designer and vintage costume pieces of value

Our Journey

South Coast Jewellers has grown through reputation and recommendation. From our earliest valuations, we focused on building lasting trust with every customer. Word of mouth has been our greatest asset -- many of our clients return to us again and come to us through personal referrals.

Today, we serve customers across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Southampton, Portsmouth, Winchester, Eastleigh, Fareham, Gosport, the New Forest, the Isle of Wight, and the wider Dorset and Hampshire regions. We have also expanded our reach with a postal valuation service and regular valuation roadshow events at venues across the South Coast and beyond.

Each member of our team brings a different specialism to the table -- from fine jewellery and precious metals through to horology, antiques, and gemology. That breadth of knowledge means you deal with someone who genuinely understands what they are looking at, whether it is a modern Rolex Submariner or a Victorian mourning brooch. We invest in ongoing training and attend trade events throughout the year to stay sharp on market movements, emerging trends, and authentication techniques.
