Enjoy an engaging, informative appraisal process as part of our professional antique jewellery services
When it comes to selling antique or vintage jewellery, Glen at Gem Zoo Ltd can provide an in-depth and accurate appraisal of your items. Glen combines his extensive knowledge with your personal input, discussing your options such as testing the feasibility of a private sale, or offering a fair price if he would like to buy it. Each item's story, its wear, and its uniqueness contribute significantly to its evaluation, and ultimately it's your choice what happens next.
While the process can vary, essentially this is what happens at an appointment with Glen:
- Glen can share some information about his knowledge and experience so you feel comfortable that you have come to see an expert
- He looks at the jewellery you have brought in, and if it's a collection, he removes any items that are costume jewellery or gold plated or fake stones first. If there are broken or worn out pieces Glen can discuss what to do with those and he may offer to buy items.
- With the jewellery that is remaining, Glen will give you as much information as possible about each piece and if you are wanting to sell, he can discuss the options of selling privately or getting a second opinion.
- If you wish to sell, Glen will make a fair price offer and you can decide what you'd like to do when you're ready.
