What kinds of jewellery do you buy?

Almost everything. Gold and silver in any form, luxury and vintage watches, diamonds and coloured gemstones, antique and estate jewellery, and even signed designer costume pieces. If you are not sure whether something is worth selling, that is exactly what a free valuation is for — there is no charge for items that turn out to have little resale value.

How do I know I am getting a fair price?

Everything is valued transparently. Precious metals are weighed on certified scales and tested for purity against the live spot price; diamonds are assessed on the four Cs; watches and antiques on brand, condition, and provenance. You receive a clear breakdown of how each figure is reached and are welcome to take a written valuation away to compare. There is no obligation to accept.

Do you really come to my home?

Yes. Free home visits are the heart of what we do. An enhanced DBS-checked, fully insured valuer comes to you anywhere across the South Coast, assesses your pieces in the comfort of your own home, and pays the same day if you choose to sell. There is no need to travel into town or post anything.

Is there any obligation to sell?

None at all. The valuation is completely free and without pressure. If you decide not to sell, that is entirely fine — many people simply want to understand what their jewellery is worth, and we are happy to provide that.

Sell Your Jewellery From the Comfort of Home

Most of us have jewellery we no longer wear — an inherited piece that is not to our taste, a ring from a past relationship, a watch gathering dust, or a tangle of broken gold at the back of a drawer. Whatever you have, and whatever it is made of, this is the place to start. South Coast Jewellers buys jewellery of every kind, valued honestly and paid for the same day, all without you having to leave your home.

This is our broad starting point. If you already know what you have, the links below take you straight to the right specialist service. If you are not sure, that is fine too — bring everything out and let our valuer tell you what each piece is and what it is worth.

Whatever You Have, We Value It

Gold — rings, chains, watches, coins, bullion, and scrap gold by weight and carat.

Honest, Transparent Valuations

Every type of item is valued on a clear, explainable basis. Precious metals are weighed on certified scales and tested for purity against the live market price; diamonds are graded on the four Cs; watches and antiques are assessed on brand, condition, and provenance. You see how each figure is reached, you receive a written breakdown, and you are free to take it away and compare. There is no haggling, no hidden deductions, and no pressure to accept. If you want to understand the mechanics first, our guide on how we calculate a cash offer explains it in full.

Why Sell With a Home Visit?

A home visit means you never have to carry valuables through town, wait in a queue, or feel rushed. Our enhanced DBS-checked, fully insured valuer comes to you at a time that suits, assesses everything on the spot, and pays the same day if you choose to sell. The whole appointment typically takes under an hour. Our home visit valuation guide covers exactly what to expect on the day.
