Assessing, appreciating, and buying antique and estate jewellery


Often when customers come to Gem Zoo they don't know much about the piece or collection of jewellery they have. Sometimes they're not even sure if they want to sell it, restore or repurpose it, or gift or leave it in a will. Glen's purpose is to take this journey of discovery with you, so you can learn the history and charm of each jewellery piece. Glen assesses what pieces have value and what is costume jewellery and this allows you to make an informed decision on what you'd like to do next. He will walk you through the buying and selling of jewellery process, and if you decide to keep the jewellery, certified jewellery valuations can be provided for insurance purposes. Call Glen to make an appointment today.

Customised restoration and reinvention for antique and vintage jewellery


Ever wanted to transform an old or broken piece of antique jewellery into something new? At Gem Zoo Ltd, Glen offers restoration and customisation services, breathing new life into your beloved pieces while beautifully preserving their history. Whether it's a jewellery item you'd like recreated into something different, or perhaps a sentimental piece you want restored to its former glory, Glen can make it happen. Perhaps you've got a lovely vintage ring that's lost its sparkle due to a missing stone? Glen will research and find the era it was made, match it to the correct diamond or stone, and carefully restore the piece.

Embrace sustainability with antique jewellery


Choosing to buy antique jewellery is not only about owning a piece of history and art, but also about environmental sustainability. By reusing and recycling existing pieces, you're making a tangible difference by reducing demand for newly mined materials. If sustainability matters to you, selling your unwanted antique jewellery or transforming old pieces into new treasures is a perfect way to align your values with your love for beautiful accessories.
